Meet the world's most wicked pirate and his crew!
The legendary Captain Carver and his wicked pirate crew commanded by the GLOOM BADGER have arrived in the Jumble Jungle Wood on board their pirate ship THE SHIFTING SHADOW in search of monsters they plan to use to tyrannise all the animals in the wood. They have already captured the Ravenoserous, the Chargemeleon and are heading for FIRE ISLAND beyond the DEEP DARK DEPTHS with the daringly wicked plan to steal the eggs of the GORGONCONDA, a two head snake whose look can turn any living creature into stone.
A wickedly funny adventure!
Replays the Medusa myth in an engagingly original manner: the Narzat and his companions face up to the Gorgonconda with nothing but cooking utensils. The book bursts with silly puns and inventive language. Yet the novel is also about kindness defeating cruelty, families reuniting and the triumph of truth over falsehood. Children of eight and up will cheer on its ramshackle, eccentric heroes.
– Literary Review
The Narzat is a visual and verbal delight as Marchant and Walker harness their considerable talents on another all-action romp that packs in everything that young readers adore. A sure-fire winner with your own mischief-makers!
