Description

Barnaby is the cabin boy for a crew of infamous and noisy pirates. Poor Barnaby can't even yell from the crow's nest, so the other pirates tease him. One day, while they're celebrating a treasure haul with an extremely loud party, something truly terrible happens to the rest of the crew... This is a rollicking pirate adventure about a not-so-ordinary pirate. He likes books, has a quiet voice and is not a bragging bully. He shows us that sometimes it is better to watch, listen and think than it is to shout, stomp and swagger.
