A crew of ship-in-a-bottle pirates lives in an old junk shop and comes out to explore when the shop is closed. In Cheese, the Pocket Pirates' cat is kidnapped and ransomed by a band of baseboard mice. In Drain, they plan an escape when their route to the kitchen is blocked. Swashbuckling adventure meets the miniaturized whimsy of The Borrowers in these British chapter books illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings.

The Great Drain Escape

At the end of the street is an old junk shop. It's gloomy and shabby and nothing ever happens there. At least, that's what most people think. . . .

Among the odds and ends and things of no use, a dusty ship in a bottle sits gathering cobwebs on a shelf. But when the world isn't watching, a tiny pirate crew comes out to explore.

And when you're smaller than a teacup, a junk shop can be a pretty dangerous place. . . .

A band of tiny squash-bucklers go on adventures of epic proportions in this second book in a brand-new chapter book series about pocket-sized pirates!

In the junk shop at the end of the street is a dusty old ship in a bottle. And when the world isn’t watching, a tiny pirate crew comes out of the ship to explore. They aren’t much bigger than a matchstick, but they have a HUGE appetite for adventure!

When the junk-shop dog moves in underneath the Pocket Pirates’ shelf, their route to the kitchen is blocked! The noise of rumbling stomachs is keeping everyone awake, and their last few stale breadcrumbs won’t keep them going long.

Do they dare to go…OUTSIDE?
