Young adult
Asked to leave his floating home, a Scottish hamburger factory ship, Woody Legg is retired to the Old Boathouse, a retreat for unwanted sailors run by a very strict matron, Frauline Stropalotti. Woody and the boys plot to escape on a disused and abandoned sailboat now renamed the Prawn Cocktail.
With the help of the Putney Sewage King, his associates the Bog-Whoppits and the Nincompoops, Woody and his friends wrench the Prawn Cocktail out of a muddy creek and back onto the sea.
They consider themselves to be twenty-first century buccaneers and, along with a worldwide map of Primarni stores, go in search of old and hidden treasures.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
The first book has the benefit of all your pent-up angst making the second one is very difficult to complete to your satisfaction. You have excelled yourself. You have a gift ! Good job you made your fortune before writing. I am over 70 years and probably read more into it than most 12-year-olds (it’s very funny)!
