In an old junk shop there is an old tiny ship in a bottle. A pocket-sized pirate crew live in that old tiny ship. When the human world is not watching the pirates (still tiny) spring into life.
The pirates have not eaten for a long time and they are starving but the shopkeeper has put his dog’s basket under the shelf where the bottle with the old tiny ship is. Lilly, the youngest of the ship’s crew, tells Button (the second youngest in the crew) not to explore the outside world for food.
However, Button decides to go outside and finds a way to get out of the junk shop. He thinks if he is quick the crew won’t notice that he has gone out but the crew find out. Will they all find a way to come back to the junk shop after their petrifying adventure in the drains?
Read this book to find out what the crew get up to and their fabulous adventure. I like this book because it describes what is happening in a style of writing that I like. There is also a nice detailed map of the junk shop at the end of the book which is really helpful. I would recommend this book to bookworms 5-9 years old who love adventure books.
