Paul Whitfield

Will and Emilie wake up to discover their house is floating in the sea and pirates have kidnapped their parents and are now singing
"Hoist up dear old Mummy
Tie her to the mast.
Rope Daddy to the wheel.
And spin him super fast".
Naturally, the pair set out to rescue them and in the process encounter a whirlpool, dinosaurs, a volcano, a wormhole, zombies and a warlock. As they lurch from one catastrophe to another the reader can take heart from the fact that it was made clear at the beginning that "Nobody dies in this book."
Pirate McSnottbeard in the Zombie Terror Rampage is a rollicking good read with lots of humour, cool drawings, snippets from Riskopedia - The Adventurer's Encyclopedia and helpful lists of Things Worth Knowing from Emelie. This is Paul Whitfield's first full-length novel for children and he has hit on a winning formula with this exciting, funny adventure. It is bound to be popular with children who enjoy humourous adventure stories and they will be delighted to know a sequel is on its way.… (altro)
