Wilson's life is not much fun until his long-lost uncle arrives. Uncle Pirate, along with his talking penguin, Captain Jack, employs pirate logic to fix Wilson's woes at school and save the family from financial ruin. Though it's rather light on plot, the story's goofy humor will entertain pirate fans. Lively black-and-white pen-and-ink and watercolor spot art illustrates most pages.
