Matthew and the Midnight Pirates

Matthew finds another career goal - this time he decides to become a pirate. And after mulling over the pirate book he got from the library, he's finally ready to be the best pirate of all. It just takes an eye patch, pirate hat, a scar drawn on his cheek, some loot, and a pirate map. As soon as he gets his overdue pirate manual back to the library, Matthew will be all set. But around midnight Matthew wakes up to a commotion outside. As he rushes to the curb, a midnight bus of pirates pulls up. Then off he goes with the motley crew, who have set their sights on a pizza truck. Before they know it, however, Matthew and the scurvy knaves find another crew - the midnight librarians - is chasing them! And everyone knows what the librarians are after. The pirates have a load of overdue books! Will the librarians take over the pirates' bus? Will all the midnight pirates walk the plank? Another wild adventure that could only happen after bedtime, Matthew and the Midnight Pirates is a fast-paced story for beginner readers who are almost ready for longer chapter books.Morgan, Allen is the author of 'Matthew and the Midnight Pirates', published 2005 under ISBN 9781550419047 and ISBN 1550419048.
