4-6Unintentional Adventures of the Bland Sisters series.
Illustrated by
Jen Hill.
The Bland sisters, Jaundice and Kale, live a very ordinary life in Dullsville. But when a band of (notably, all-female) pirates captures them, they are led on an adventure they never expected. Aboard the Jolly Regina, the girls befriend the cook, learn how to stand up to bullies, write sea chanteys, and more. Stylish illustrations highlight the high jinks; a satisfying ending suggests more not-so-bland adventures to come.
