absolutely delightful book for teens and I dont know how or why I knew about it. I decided to read it and was so pleased. And I also loved the illustration...

Really looking forward to more in this series. The dry humor is fun to read and I liked seeing how the adventure slowly changed the girls. Just a little.

There are so many subtle jokes aimed towards adults in here that it reminds me of Shrek only completely clean. They will go over a kid's head but make an adult laugh.

ie, Captain Ann Tennille

Hmm, slightly bland? lovely premise but these girls would rather be at home darning socks, watching the grass grow, eating cheese sandwiches and reading the dictionary than off on adventures... gorgeously illustrated with some entertaining secondary characters, so I'll almost definitely be reading part 2...

Very funny and thoroughly entertaining romp about two sisters who want to lead a quiet boring life being thrust into adventure. Any book with the character named Captain Ann Tennille has got a lot going for it. A real delight, with just the right amount if twists as well.

To be honest, I picked up this book after realizing it was the same author of my baby’s favorite book Good Night Little Monsters. I ended up really loving the story and the illustrations. I also loved the integration of the pirate language and the definitions of new words. While it was almost all completely charming, there is a portion of the plotline that centers on disordered eating / body shaming that I honestly didn’t think was necessary, and I dropped a star for that.
