Lilly and the Pirates

Lilly is a ten-year-old worrywart. To keep her concerns at bay she diligently and fervently lists them in a worry book. Her globe-trotting scientist-parents don't worry about anything. When they learn of a rare sighting of the frangipani fruit fly they set sail for the fabled Shipwreck Islands. Since water is her greatest fear Lilly stays behind with her eccentric librarian great-uncle. Then news comes that the scientists are shipwrecked and Lilly must overcome her fear of the sea find the hidden island and outsmart a bunch of treasure-hungry pirates to save her parents. Rob Shepperson's detailed action-packed pencil illustrations are as wonderfully good-humored as the story.
