The Pirates Next Door – Jonny Duddle

The quiet seaside town of Dull-on-Sea gets a shock when the Jolley-Rogers, a family of pirates, move in next door. At first, the townspeople are suspicious, but a young girl named Matilda befriends the pirate boy, Jim. Together, they have swashbuckling adventures. This is a wonderfully illustrated and humorous picture book about looking past appearances and the fun of making new and unusual friends. It's a tale of adventure, acceptance, and buried treasure.
