Captain Brett's Pirates
About this book
The adventures of a little boy captured by a crew of pirates led by the dreadful Captain Brett, a mysterious character with a skull as a face…
A boy is sent by his parents to spend the summer with his original, absent-minded uncle. Left to his own devices in a strange town, he explores the streets, discovers a large river, gets trapped in an ambush and is taken prisoner by pirates!
Despite himself, he becomes part of this criminal crew, composed of a cabin boy looking like a cat, a little girl who happens to be the lieutenant, and the captain Brett, whose face is a skull with a permanent smile.
With them, the boy will live crazy adventures: participate in a high-speed chase with the police, discover the underground hidden treasure of the pirates, escape his kidnappers… before falling again in the hands of the mysterious and dreadful captain Brett.
• The story in 3 chapters of a child looking for adventure, who finds more than he had hoped for.
• Beyond the action and plot twists, the real adventure is the encounter with Captain Brett who makes the hero and the reader question the matter of good and evil.
• World acclaimed author Blexbolex makes yet again a new artistic and narrative bet with this genre book illustrated with a mix of pencils, wash drawings and digital art.AWARDS
