Was reading it with mum but we gave up.

Well, if you like pirates and adventure, then this book is for you! I read this book when I was younger, so it shouldn't be too hard of a read for younger readers. I also feel like younger readers might get more out of the story, simply because they read for pleasure while older readers are looking to find anything wrong with the story or writing. I just think this is a fun book for anyone looking to get out of a humdrum day.
