Publisher's Synopsis
Without a parrot, Jack is in danger of being ridiculed rather than feared, a fate no self-respecting pirate wants for themselves. Deciding to find a cure for his terrifying fear, Jack sails to the exotic Cove of Paradise to seek out a healer who can help him gain the respect of his troublesome crew. When Jack meets Penny Darkling, the mystical healer, he soon discovers she is a woman not to be messed with! What lies ahead when this fearsome pirate meets his match? Author Michelle Path draws her inspiration from nature and the environment, working these themes into her stories to encourage children to have an interest and appreciation in our planet in a fun, unique way. Michelle's first series, 'Xalien the Purple Alien', has proved increasingly popular with young readers. Her first instalment, Xalien the Purple Alien, was released in August 2014, with the sequel, Xalien Goes to School, published the following November. The Xalien series is set to include Xalien Goes to the Zoo and the Xalien Xmas Special in 2015, with further books still in the works! Michelle is set to release Sham Subterranean and the Party Tea, Kandy Hamm, and, the sequel to The Pirate Who was Scared of Birds, Crackskull Jack Goes to the Ball in the near future.
