Your sweating hands are clutching the first case of the world's first ever pirate detective, Sam Hawkins - a grotty, knotty tale of diddling and confuddling mystery.

Who nabbed and nicked the famous Cutglass Cutlass?

Was it Lady Booming Clapshot- owner of the crumbling Clapshot Towers?

Or Whithers - her be-wigged and bitter butler?

Or Whackett - the moustache twirling circus owner?

Or Peg-Nose Pedro, the wickedest, wackiest pirate in Spain?

Or someone else?

Review of "Don't Dis Miss!" by Flyleaf on Amazon.co.uk 5.0 out of 5 stars -  "A great read full of daft and silly poems. Lots of word play and great fun. I also really like the fact that, unlike many kids poetry books these days, it's not full of poo jokes. Great stuff. I haven't come across Ian Billings before. Hope we'll see more from him!"

 

 

 
Before your very eyes (and ears) is the second case of Sam Hawkins, the world's first pirate detective, and a toe-curlingly, nose-wipingly muddlesome mystery it is! The Famous Pointy Head Lighthouse has been kidnapped. But by whom?

 

Was it Billy Buddy- the doubly-troublesome lighthouse keeper?

Or Harvey Clump, Washed-upon-the Beach's quadtrillionaire businessman?

Or Long John Saliva, the gobby swabbie?

And who is the Scarlet Winkle?

Plunge feet first into this chuckle-stuffed, giggle-riddled voyage of piratical peril and pitfalls with SAM HAWKINS, PIRATE DETECTIVE, AND THE POINTY HEAD LIGHTHOUSE.
