Review # 1 was written on 2012-01-23 00:00:00 Jason Kramer Roger is a 9 year old boy who leads quite a sad life. His mother suffers from depression due to his fathers disappearance and takes it out on Roger. Because of his sad state, Roger decides to join a pirate ship thinking that he will have a better life on the ship. Lo and behold! Roger realises that the ships chef is in fact his father-who suffers from Amnesia therefore does not know who Roger is! In this funny and exciting book, Roger tries to get his father to remember who he is and come back to his family. This is a fun book for children to read becuase of the pirate slang and great illustrations. It would be enjoyable to read as a whole class as well as independently for confident readers.The illustrations in the book link to the Victorian times so this book could be linked with the topic of the Victorians in History.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-06-04 00:00:00 Connie Sharpe My son loved this book. It did allow me to have quite a few character voices, but is rather long for a night read...we broke this into 2 days...it was perfect!
