Synopsis

Sam is an ordinary person who wears an ordinary suit and ordinary shoes. He works in an ordinary, neat office writing down figures all day and underlining them. But Sam's mother is definitely not an ordinary woman, Sam’s mother is a pirate and she wants to sweep him away to sea...

Written by a best-selling author, this is a lively and enchanting tale with wonderfully exuberant illustrations to match.
