Jack Plank Tells Tales by Natalie Babbitt
From the author of TUCK EVERLASTING, her first novel in 25 years--now available in paperback!Jack Plank has left his pirate shipmates and gone ashore. Each day he sets out from Mrs. DelFresno's boarding house to look for a new job. Each evening he returns to regale the other boarders with the story of his job search plus a tall tale from his life as a pirate to explain why that particular job wouldn't be suitable. For who would want to work where there might be a troll, or the danger of getting a crab permanently caught in your beard? Or what about a treacherous, music-loving crocodile?Natalie Babbitt (1932-2016) was an award-winning author of numerous stunningly creative books for children, including Tuck Everlasting, The Eyes of the Amaryllis, Kneeknock Raise, and many others. She began her work in 1966 as the artist of her husband's novel The Forty-ninth Magician. Babbitt took her hand at writing when her husband became the head of a college and no longer had time to collaborate. The Search for Delicious, her debut novel, demonstrated her talent for crafting beautiful narratives with deep meaning. Tuck Everlasting was transformed into a major motion feature in 2002, and Kneeknock Raise earned her a Newbery Honor Medal. Natalie Babbitt was from Hamden, Connecticut.
