Sarah McConnell - All books by this author Scarlet Silver is a little girl who wants to become a pirate—just like her aunt, Long Joan Silver. But there is one rule in the Silver house: Don’t mention pirates. That rule has been in effect ever since the day that bad luck befell Grandma Silver. She was accidentally eaten by a giant shrimp. But Scarlet still wants to be a pirate. What she loves to do best is to go treasure hunting with her treasure detector. Most of the time she doesn’t find anything valuable—just worthless bits of scrap metal— but one day she discovers something different. Working with her trusty treasure detector, Scarlet finds something that looks very much like real gold! Is she going to be rich? The adventure that follows in this delightful picture storybook is funny and filled with action. The color illustrations that help to tell the story are every bit as hilarious as the Silver family’s silly saga. (Ages 4–7) From the reviews: “This is a funny, swashbuckling tall tale.” —School Library Journal, August 2006 “ebulliently illustrated…her bright, cartoon-like water-colors emit high energy without feeling manic; the pictures will draw in readers with a genially goofy cast of characters and one goodhearted tickle after another.” —Publisher’s Weekly, June 5, 2006 (0764159453) Hardcover w/jacket / 32 Pages / 9 7/8 x 9 3/4 / 2006 | ||
