Josh is
about to star t at Hookwell’s School. But there is something odd about it …
for starters it looks like a ship - and there is a moat! It’s a school for
the children of PIRATES! But Josh’s mum is a pilot, not a pirate! To begin with, Josh thinks pretending to be a pirate is fun! But it’s
harder than it looks. Will his shipmates discover he’s not a proper pirate? And one more thing … look out for the
school shark!
