Robert Louis Stevenson

Eoin Colfer
This is a spooky, funny family adventure centred on a child’s fear of a pirate ghost and an older brother’s teasing. Its appeal lies in the uncertainty between an alarming story and a practical joke.
Cornelia Funke
Expect a brisk, comic swashbuckling story: pirates take Molly, but her courage and cleverness unsettle them. The story’s main pleasure is the reversal of who appears powerful and who needs to be feared.
Karen Simpson Tweedie
A lively group adventure built around treasure hunts, secret communication and pirate clues. Its strongest appeal is likely the mix of teamwork, island exploration and mystery, with a fingerspelling-based code included in the children’s shared activities.
