Recommended for summer reading by The Huffington Post!
"When Shivers sets sail, adventure--and laughs--abound."--Tom Watson, author of the Stick Dog series
Meet Shivers, the scaredy-est pirate to ever sail the Seven Seas. Along with his best friend, Margo, and his loyal fishmate, Albee, Shivers battles a giant squid, discovers hidden treasures, and gets pooped on by a pigeon to save his parents from the clutches of evil. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll never eat snails again. So put on your pantaloons, batten down the hatches, and join Shivers on his first (but still very dangerous) adventure.
Comic book-like illustrations in each chapter bring Shivers to life and invite even the most reluctant readers to join the adventure.

Gr 3-6—Shivers, 11, is a pirate who is afraid of everything, including the sea, so he spends his days in a parked ship next to a snack shop on a New Jersey beach. Meanwhile, his mother, Tilda the Tormentor; his father, Bob; and his brave brother, Brock, set sail on missions on the Eastern seas. When Shivers gets the news that they have been captured, he realizes that he alone can rescue them. The young pirate finds courage in his new best friend, Margo, and his first mate Albee (a fish). Together, they battle evil to save his family and find the elusive Treasure Torch ("the most famous booty this side of Neptune's nostrils"). This is a quick read with black-and-white cartoons appearing throughout the story. A witty novel with important messages about courage.—Gwen Collier, Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, NY
