Pirates of Underwhere (Underwhere Series) [Hardcover]

Bruce Hale (Author), Shane Hillman (Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 8 and up | Grade Level: 3 and up | Series: Underwhere Series

Stephanie has a whole underwear drawer full of trouble.

A week ago, Stephanie's biggest problem was finding enough time to complete her homework and study for her Mathletes competition. Now, thanks to her big-mouth brother, Zeke, she has to deal with magical toilet brushes, sinister talking cats, nearsighted sea serpents, singing custodians, feminist pirates, runty freedom fighters, and all the cottony-white weirdness of Underwhere—the world beneath our own where people wear their undies on the outside of their clothes.

About the Author

Bruce (charming cheetah) Hale spends much of his time pouncing on pesky balls of yarn and raiding his neighbor's catnip garden. To relax, he perches himself in his living room window and basks in the rays of the sun in Santa Barbara, California.

This review is from: Pirates of Underwhere (Underwhere Series) (Hardcover)

My 8 year old son read Prince of Underwhere and Pirates of Underwhere in one week. He loved them. He said they are funny and fun to read. He keeps begging me to order the next books in the series, which I will be doing as soon as I finish this review.

Bruce Hale gets kids. He gets boys 6-10 years old. And they love his books! Boy humor all the way. Thanks, Bruce Hale for making my son a reader!
