In this second book in the popular "Hairy Mole" trilogy, Hairy Mole sets out once again with his eager and devoted misfit pirate crew on an epic journey packed full of action. Hairy Mole is no ordinary pirate. He is neither bold, brave, fearless or handsome, but he loves an adventure.

Together with his crew Belch, Pickle, the twins Crevice and Pitt, tiny Guff and Mr Bogey the first mate, with huge nostrils , hairy ears and a cricket bat for a leg, he meets an Italian pirate ship manned by colourful non-smelly pirates with exotic birds on their heads. The adventures of Hairy Mole delight children with their ridiculous humour and simple stories. The books are fantastically illustrated with funny line drawings and text which squiggles and wiggles all over the page, making them ideal for children to start reading alone or to enjoy with an adult.
