Synopsis

Shivers, the scaredy-est pirate to ever sail the Seven Seas, is back. Comic book–like illustrations in each chapter bring Shivers to life and invite even the most reluctant readers to join the adventure. Perfect for fans of such series as Stick Dog, Big Nate, Dork Diaries, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

This time, Shivers must set sail again to get his beloved ship, the Land Lady, back from Mayor Sheila B. President. Shivers won’t be going alone, however. He’ll be bringing his best pal, Margo, and his loyal fishmate, Albee, on a clingy-clam and hot dog filled adventure. Like all good pirates, Shivers will just have to grab his swimmies (and his bunny slippers) and jump right into this epic tale.

What happens when the world’s most cowardly pirate is the only one who can save the day?

• Pirate Books for Kids: Meet Shivers, a pirate who’s more comfortable in bunny slippers than boots, and whose ship is stocked with peaches instead of cannons.
• Fast-Paced Adventure: When the dastardly Mayor President steals his beloved ship, the Land Lady, Shivers must embark on a wild quest through New York City to get it back before sundown.
• Laugh-Out-Loud Humor: From disastrous hot-dog eating contests to clam calamities at sea, this story is packed with slapstick comedy perfect for fans of Wimpy Kid.
• Illustrated Chapter Book: Engaging, comic-style illustrations on nearly every page bring the zany action to life and make reading a blast for even reluctant readers.
• Unlikely Friendship: Shivers can’t do it alone! He’ll need the help of his fearless best friend Margo and his loyal fish-mate Albee to face his many, many fears.
