| When it rains for days and days, one house in London sails off, only to be attacked by pirates! |
| Ever since Grandma had come to stay it had rained. Everyone was fed up off being stuck indoors and being cooped up with each other. When the house suddenly sails off down the street, the family realise they are off on the adventure of a lifetime. If they can beat the pirates and cannibals they might be able to find the buried treasure! |
| A wonderful read for those growing in confidence as independent readers. The slightly larger text and funny illustrations make this a good choice for boys and girls. |
| Pat Hutchins has a wonderful sense of the absurd, she writes with humour and pace. The story races along, with no wastage. The incredible adventures of all the family make this a very amusing story. A nice book to read with a child or to a class. |
| Other books by Pat Hutchins include Follow That Bus!. |
