Bookroo's summary
Roger, the jolliest pirate, is sidelined for his lack of menace. But during a fierce battle, he hatches a plan that could revolutionize piracy forever. Can his cheerful nature turn the tide and prove his worth among the fearsome crew? Discover how one man's joy might just become the pirates' greatest weapon.
From the publisher
Roger is too jolly to be a pirate.He does not scowl, growl, or strike fear into sailors’ hearts like his pirate friends. So poor Roger is sent away whenever there is any real pirating to be done. Then one day, in the middle of a great battle, Jolly Roger cooks up a wonderful idea . . . and pirate ships will never be the same again!
