(4) 1-3 Jolly Roger series. Translated by Charlotte Coombe. Illustrated by Annette Marnat. After twins Louise and Benjamin escape from their Parisian orphanage, pirates take an interest in them because of their treasure-map tattoos. The twins are swept up into twisty adventures searching for their real father, legendary pirate Captain Roc. Some unnecessary expository paragraphs stall the otherwise entertaining plots; monochromatic manga-like illustrations add appeal. There are three other spring 2015 books in this series. Review covers the following Jolly Roger titles: Escape from Veracruz, The Pirate's Legacy, and Shark Island.
