Jolly Roger
Colin McNaughton, Colin McNaughton
Nine-year-old Roger is a miserable landlubber with a bad-tempered mother. So when he sees a poster for a cabin boy to join the pirates, he jumps at the chance – or he would have done if the pirates hadn’t already bagged him! The next thing he knows, Roger is on board the Golden Behind with a bunch of the smelliest, hairiest, scariest pirates the world has ever seen – but will they be a match for Roger’s mum?

Funny. I liked the twist - finding out his dad's real identity!
