The Night Pirates is a wildly imaginative and beautifully illustrated bedtime adventure. Young Tom is fast asleep when he is awoken by the sound of "Aarrr!" Peeking out his window, he sees a band of tiny, fierce, girl pirates scaling the side of his house. They have decided that Tom's house would make the perfect pirate ship! Tom bravely joins the crew on a daring adventure to a faraway island to steal a massive cake from a group of lazy, giant men-pirates. The story is full of thrilling action, humor, and a wonderful celebration of female empowerment and imagination. It's a perfect book for children who love pirates and adventure, and it encourages them to believe that the most exciting things can happen right after they go to sleep.
