Synopsis
Polly Flies North
Get ready for a swashbuckling adventure like no other in Polly's Inuit Piralympics. Somewhere near the North Pole lies Snowy Island, where pirates have teamed up with the Inuit to embark on a thrilling journey — the Paralympics for Pirates! But these aren't your ordinary games; they're inspired by the Inuit Olympics, with a piratical twist!
Join your favourite characters, from Vuvuzela-playing Zulus to kilted bagpipe-playing Scots, cowboy guitar-playing Americans, tattooed Maoris, yellow-turbaned Indians, and Abba-singing Viking pirates, as they compete for gold in the Inuit (Eskimo) Piralympics. And the best part? The competition isn't just for men pirates; two female pirate ships with their all-female crews - GIRLS! - have joined in too. Who knew there were girl pirates?
As the excitement unfolds, witness our brave pirates’ fish through holes in the ice, build igloos, and take part in a thrilling sled race that nearly ends in disaster.
Along the way, they learn invaluable lessons about friendship, teamwork, and the perils of bullying. And when they befriend polar bears, whales, and huskies, you'll discover that there's more to pirates than just swashbuckling.
The story goes beyond thrilling escapades; it introduces readers to the remarkable Inuit culture, their way of life, and the beauty of diversity. Through interactive pages, young minds can explore and express their own ideas and creativity.
Amidst all the action and adventure, a spark of romance seems to be in the air! But will it bloom into something more? Find out as the story unfolds.
