Trash-er Island
Written by Katherine Wallace
Illustrated by Ella Elviana
Tilly’s hopes of winning the annual Pirate Regatta are dashed when her home-made boat is blown off course and she loses her map. When an albatross mistakenly leads her, not to Treasure Island, but to Trash-er Island, Tilly must find a way to repair her battered boat, and make her own treasure.
This pirate-perfect picture book will delight readers aged 4-8.
Katherine
After all, one pirate’s trash is another pirate’s treasure!
