My granny is a pirate!
She’s sailed the seven seas.
She captured many pirate ships
But was always home for tea.


When a family secret about Granny is revealed, we discover all about her fiercesome pirate reputation and her swashbuckling ways – from making other rogueish pirates walk the plank to singing sea shanties to her dog, Jolly Roger.

Look again at your granny…could she be a pirate too? A must-have book for all pirate fans.

Lively, jolly and colourful.
Independent on Sunday
Told in verse and superbly illustrated by Arthur Robins, it makes old age seem a lot of fun.
Books for Keeps
Full of her characteristically wicked humour. Delightfully funny characterisations. A rollicking tale full of lusty energy. * * * *
Independent on Sunday
Arthur Robins's illustrations mix humour with an occasional touch of mild menace.
School Librarian
Crime writer Val McDermid has turned her hand most effectively to her first picture book.
The Sun
The author's first children's book - but I hope not her last. Barrels of fun for young and old.
