The
Giant Rat of Sumatra
or
Pirates
Galore
by Sid Fleischman
Aye!
'Tis land ho! Pirates have landed! The Giant Rat of Sumatra
weighs anchor on the coast of San Diego. The year, 1846. Captain Gallows
and his crew of scurvy pirates come ashore for a pirate adventure
like no other! Told through the eyes of his 12-year-old cabin boy
named Shipwreck (for obvious reasons), you can plunge into the fun
as you meet the jovial Mexican pirate, Alejandro Gallows. Follow him
as he encounters breathtaking escapes, snarling mutineers, lost loves,
fast friendships, and revenge like no other.
Why
has he brought The Giant Rat of Sumatra
to San Diego? Doesn't he know of the trouble brewing there? Will Shipwreck
ever be able to get home to Boston? Are there forever friendships
among pirates? You're about to find out! Grab a reading buddy, and
come read one of the best swashbuckling pirate tales we've ever read!
