Pom Pom is looking forward to the end of term. Over the next six weeks, he swims in the sea for the first time, disguises himself as an iceberg, battles a giant crab and finds a treasure map. He also visits the fair, rides a roller coaster, dodges an evil monkey and eats more candy floss than anyone else. Pom Poms are the very best at summer holidays.

The Ghost pirates: "The Ghost Pirates . . . is a powerful account of a doomed and haunted ship on its last voyage, and of the terrible sea-devils (of quasi-human aspect, and perhaps the spirits of bygone buccaneers) that besiege it and finally drag it down to an unknown fate. With its command of maritime knowledge, and its clever selection of hints and incidents suggestive of latent horrors in nature, this book at times reaches enviable peaks of power."

It's story time at school, when all of a sudden—splash!—the classroom fills with water and Tim and Ted find themselves taking part in a swashbuckling nautical adventure. Can they rescue stolen treasure from the pirates before Tim's mom comes to pick him up at the end of the day? Rhythmic, rhyming text and humorous illustrations make this action-filled story perfect for reading aloud.
