El pequeño Julián vive la aventura de su vida un día en que los piratas de Barbatrenzada le piden que los acompañe a enterrar un tesoro. A bordo del barco pirata, Julián disfruta de lo lindo: aprende el divertido lenguaje de los bucaneros, imita sus toscos modales y come solo lo que le apetece sin que nadie le riña. Pero cuando ya tiene decidido convertirse en pirata, algo ocurre que le hace cambiar de opinión.
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?
