Description

Ferocious pirate Captain Firebeard THINKS that he and the ruthless crew of the "Horrible Haddock" rule the high seas. But Firebeard and his band meet their match when they kidnap a small but feisty girl named Molly. Even after the pirates threaten Molly with sharks and make her scrub the deck, she is utterly defiant -- and will NOT tell Firebeard who her parents are. All the while, Molly is busy sending secret messages in bottles...but to whom? When her rescuers arrive, the pirates are in for a real surprise! For the TRUE fiercest pirate on the seas is none other than Molly's mother!

While sailing to her grandmother's, a young girl is kidnapped by pirates and forced to work for them. SPOILER: When her mother's pirate crew shows up to rescue her, the men are forced to do the same sort of work for the women pirates. I'm not clear on what the point is.

Ha ha ha! Loved the feisty little pirate girl and her take-some-prisoners mama.

Pirate Girl is captured by bad pirates then her mom a more fearsome pirate rescues her then she goes to visit her grandma. The illustrations are very funny.

A pirate story that appeals to both boys and girls. "Pirate Girl" is the story of a clever girl who has been captured by pirates and is being held for ransom.

LibraryThing member matthewbloome

Funny that a girl captured by a fearsome group of male pirates and put to work, turns out to be none other than the daughter of a more fearsome group of female pirates who overtake that very group of male pirates and put them to work. Good if you liked the other two Cornelia Funke/Kerstin Meyer

books.
