‘Shiver me surprises! This new Scallywags adventure is the best thing since frozen pies came in a six-pack. Not only is it fantastically funny, but it is filled to its crunchy pie crust with madness and mayhem. So, what’s stopping you? Grab a bottle of sauce and dig in! I score this book 6 out of 5 frozen pies*.’ Hook Hand Horace, Pie Rat

* Editors note: Yes, we realise that 6 out of 5 is not a proper star rating. But as frozen pies dont come in a five-pack, we were forced to run with Horaces score.

This book is rated ARRR! It is suitable for immature audiences only.

Book 1 in the Scallywags series by the award-winning author of the Pie Rats series.
