The awful McNasty brothers are pirates staking out Little Snoring on Sea in search of treasure. Villagers Tat and his friend Hetty (think a young Hermione Granger) find the treasure first and must outsmart the pirates and help Tat's family avoid eviction. This transitional reader is full of pirate-speak and humorous asides to readers; engaging illustrations help break up the text.
