Shivers isn't a very good pirate--he's scared of everything. But when his family is captured, Shivers is the only one who can save them. Margo, the police chief's daughter, comes along for the ride. Frequently laugh-out-loud funny (e.g., Shivers is even afraid of pepperoni pizza, a.k.a. "deadly spotted cheese bread"), it's an endearing story with an unlikely hero readers will cheer for.
