Description
Hairy Mole and his terrifyingly cut-throat pirate crew take to the high seas to rescue cousin Furry Mole from the clutches, and the knives and forks, of three outrageously wicked witches.
Quick Summary
Picture a mole in a pirate hat commanding a ragtag crew of swashbucklers, all racing to save a kidnapped cousin from witches who use utensils as weapons. Readers will devour the laugh-out-loud moments when the pirates outsmart the witch sisters and the ridiculous kitchen-themed battles that unfold. If your kid loves the silly horror and monster mayhem in "Dog Man" or the zany pirate adventures in "The Bad Guys," they'll be hooked from page one. With a 6.9 AR level and 20128 words, this hits the sweet spot for fourth through seventh graders who want something funnier and more fast-paced than typical chapter books.
