Pirate School Book Series

The pirate ship’s first mate, Rotten Tooth, sees Pete and his friends more as an annoyance than pirates in training. As the ship heads toward Snake Island, Pete has an idea to earn some respect - if the kids can find the hidden treasure before the grown-ups, then they’ll have to be taken seriously! 

While on watch in the crow’s nest, the pirate kids spot something gaining on their ship: a ghost ship! Rotten Tooth refuses to believe them, so the kids know that they have to solve this mystery themselves. They spend a night on deck waiting for the ghost ship to approach, and then they plan to board it. But is it even possible to step onto a ghost ship? And if it is, is it possible to get off of it? 

Rotten Tooth has finally decided it’s time to teach the pirate kids some real pirating skills! They are overjoyed - until he begins by showing them how to tie and untie different knots. BOR-ING! But one night while the kids are belowdecks practicing their knots, the Sea Rat comes under attack by the Filthy Sails, a rival pirate ship!

As the Sea Rat pulls into port, the kids are excited to explore the town! That is, until Rotten Tooth makes them run errands the whole time. But they are determined to have fun, so the kids turn it into a spying mission.
