Very Young Fiction (5 - 8 years)

While Nicholas Nosh, the Littlest Pirate, is sailing home from an expedition to get special food for his birthday party, his crew is overcome by a terrible smell. Soon the Golden Pudding is boarded by a band of pirates led by Captain Stinker, the dirtiest, ugliest, smelliest pirate in the Seven Seas, and Nicholas and his crew are taken captive. Stinker's ship is his secret weapon. It's so disgustingly putrid that it can overpower any other ship without so much as a shot from its cannon. And because Stinker wants to keep it that way, he won't allow anything to be cleaned, ever. But Nicholas can see that Stinker's crew aren't very happy. He has to win them over to his side - but how?
