Shiver me timbers, Jonny Duddle's
The Pirates Next Door has been shortlisted for the
Waterstones 2012 Children's Book Prize!
The Jolley-Rogers - a pirate family, are moving to Dull-on-Sea, a quiet seaside town where rumours spread quickly. Defying the grown-ups, Matilda from next door decides to become friends with the youngest pirate son. When the Jolley-Rogers leave, the town discovers they were wrong to assume the worst - the pirate clan have buried treasure in everyone's gardens.
