Published by HarperCollins Children's Books, Murray the Pirate is the third book in the Murray and Bun series, written by Adam Stower. Beautifully illustrated throughout in black and white by the author, this new story, aimed at six years and up, celebrates the power of imagination and that heroes can be all shapes and sizes.
Murray lives in a town like any other, with a Wizard called Fumblethumb. Sadly the wizard's magical skills aren't up to much and Murray is disappointed when he turns his last bun into a rabbit! He also cast a spell on Murray's cat flap so that sometimes it leads into the garden but at others it leads to adventures!
This time, when Murray and Bun travel through the cat flap and find themselves in a land of pirates, they're quickly thrown into their biggest adventure yet. Kidnapped by the dread pirate Captain Patch of the feared pirate ship the Lurchin' Urchin, Murray and Bun discover a secret map which leads them to Monster Island, where they must find buried treasure... or be made to walk the plank!
Perfect for newly independent readers and those who love being read to.
