Jim the cabin boy decides that the pirates of the bad ship Scullywag need cheering up, so he suggests that they should go on a picnic. But he doesn’t know that pirates’ picnics are not like ordinary picnics at all. Can the Scullywag’s crew avoid rain, rotten eggs and quicksand to find the perfect island to hold their party?
Angela has written over forty books for children. These include young fiction and poetry as well as picture books. After working abroad as a nanny she trained in illustration but realised she was much happier producing words than pictures. Angela enjoys collaborating with other illustrators on her picture books – her inspiration coming from two boisterous children. She lives with them and her husband on a farm (her husband keeps horses) in the South West of England.
Angela McAllister is an award-winning author of over sixty books for children and young teens. She lives in Hampshire.
