"THIS BOOK IS SERIOUSLY FUNNY!!!" Phil Earle, author of Finn's Epic Fails

Get ready to set sail on a hilarious new swashbuckling adventure series from bestselling and award-winning author, Jenny Pearson, stunningly illustrated in two-colour by Paula Bowles. Perfect for fans of How to Train Your Dragon.

Wilbur doesn't believe he's destined to be a great pirate. He hates heights, gets seasick and is too scared to fire a cannon.
But Wilbur, together with shipmates Ellie and Gilbert, is taking his Level One Pirate Grading. They're in a race to find the greatest treasure of all: one of the legendary Jewels of the Sea. How's he ever going to win?

With cursed treasure, rival crews, cannon-blasting battles and booby-trapped islands, danger is never far away. Can Wilbur survive the storm and become the pirate he's meant to be?

Hoist the anchor and climb the mainsail before shouting to the seven seas...THIS BOOK IS SERIOUSLY FUNNY!!! * Phil Earle, author of Finn's Epic Fails *
