<\/p>\n

Lilly and the Pirates<\/a>
\nby Phyllis Root (Author) and Rob Shepperson (Illustrator)
\n116 pages<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> A sighting of the rare frangipani fruit fly sends Lilly\u2019s scientist parents off in search of the fabled Shipwreck Islands. Lilly awaits their return at the home of her great-uncle Ernest, the chief librarian of Mundelaine, a town that seems to have more than its share of piratical-looking characters lurking about. When news comes that her parents\u2019 ship has wrecked, she must overcome her fear of the sea, find the hidden island, and outsmart a bunch of treasure-hungry pirates to save the day. <\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> Lilly reached for her worry book, always at her side, ready for her to scribble down any worries she might think of. If Lilly worried enough about all of the things that could go wrong, if she wrote her worries down in her worry book, the bad things she worried about might not happen.<\/I>
