Pirate Polly wants to lose her L-plates and make the grade as a professional pirate. But she's got some horrible, hairy seafaring scoundrels on her tail who desperately try to foil Polly's plans. But lucky Polly has a clever crew: her pet rat Rufus and a scaredy-cat seadog called Howler. Together the trio will make sure Polly passes her pirate projects with flying colours.

There are three shiver-yer-timbers adventures in this book: FISHY BUSINESS, MAKING WAVES and GOING OVERBOARD.
