When the pirate crew turns up at Jeremy Jacob's house and accidentally wakes his baby sister, that wee scallywag howls louder than a storm on the high seas. Sure, there's buried treasure to be found, but nobody's digging up anything until Bonney Anne quits her caterwauling. So, quickly, Braid Beard and his pirates become babysitters.

Three friends prepare for an alien invasion with aluminum foil, peanut butter, and science. This book will appeal to budding scientists and even reluctant young readers as it answers burning questions such as How close is science fiction to real life? and Can peanut butter really keep your brain safe from an alien assault?
