Bookroo's summary

In a dusty junk shop, a crew of tiny pirates emerges from a ship in a bottle, ready for adventure. Their path to the kitchen is blocked by a new obstacle—a junk-shop dog. With rumbling stomachs and dwindling breadcrumbs, they must decide if they dare to venture outside. Will they find a way to satisfy their hunger, or will the outside world prove too perilous for these pint-sized adventurers?

From the publisher

A band of tiny squash-bucklers go on adventures of epic proportions in this second book in a brand-new chapter book series about pocket-sized pirates!

In the junk shop at the end of the street is a dusty old ship in a bottle. And when the world isn’t watching, a tiny pirate crew comes out of the ship to explore. They aren’t much bigger than a matchstick, but they have a HUGE appetite for adventure!

When the junk-shop dog moves in underneath the Pocket Pirates’ shelf, their route to the kitchen is blocked! The noise of rumbling stomachs is keeping everyone awake, and their last few stale breadcrumbs won’t keep them going long.

Do they dare to go…OUTSIDE?
