Book Description
Parrot Island: The Pirate Adventures is a children's/YA book that has a slightly different take than any other pirate book. Our story began with a simple question: Where do pirates actually get their parrots? Well, after digging through the secret archives of the Caribbean pirates, we found a clue. There is a small island shrouded in mystery that is home to parrots trained to be proper pirates' parrots. It's a very cinematic story that follows the adventures of Gabe, the son of Blackbeard's parrot who is chosen by the notorious pirate Sykes to join the crew of the Rusty Cutlass. Joined by his best friend Ponce, a portly grey parrot, the two parrots meet Bilge, a ship-smart rat who helps them during their adventures on the high seas. We feel this a genre-bending book in the plethora of Pirate Books for children. None that we could find is told from the parrot's perspective in such a fun and adventure filled way and includes two strong female characters- a woman pirate named Pearl and her parrot Fabiola. It's not about plunder and treasure, but understanding how to work together as a team and overcome big obstacles.

South America's often overlooked English-speaking country lies far off the well-trodden tourist path. Guyana is the ideal destination for the discerning visitor seeking adventure.

It's been six months since their last adventure aboard the S.S. Excalibur and Philipa and her friend Philip (who happens to be the son of the ship's captain) are both excited to meet the ship's new assistant cruise director, Herby Twining.
