Synopsis

Part of the Tom Fletcher Book Club 2018!

The first book by brilliant new comic author, Will Mabbitt, shortlisted for the Branford Boase award 2016.

--------------

When Mabel Jones unknowingly commits 'The Deed' she finds herself swiftly bundled into a sack and carried off to the pirate ship the Feroshus Maggot!

Crewed by the strangest bunch of pirates you would ever want to meet, and captained by the dreaded Idryss Ebeneezer Split (a wolf with a false leg carved from a human thighbone, a rusty cutlass sheathed in his belt and a loaded pistol tucked in his pants with no fear of the consequences), the Feroshus Maggot whisks Mabel Jones off on the adventure of a lifetime.

Review:

ADVANCED PRAISE FOR "THE UNLIKELY ADVENTURES OF MABEL JONES"
From the first few sentences, I knew I was in for a uniquely wild and witty ride. If Lewis Carroll were writing for Monty Python, I imagine it might look something like this. Christopher Healy, author of the Hero s Guide series
""The Unlikely Adventures of Mabel Jones" is a speedy, splashy, snort-out-loud lark. Hints of "Pinocchio," "Peter Pan," and "The Hobbit" bubble beneath its fast-paced plot, and wordplay both visual and textual sets a lively tone. Clever and fun. Jacqueline West, author of the "New York Times" bestselling series, The Books of Elsewhere
"First in a series, this comical novel should become a readaloud favorite." "Publishers Weekly," starred review!
"A zany and twisted pirate tale . . . for readers transitioning into longer chapter books." "School Library Journal
""A little bit of Monty Python, a touch of Capt. Jack Sparrow . . . This high-spirited, pirate-tastic romp is for kids who like their buccaneers a little on the wild side." "Kirkus""
