Jolly Roger

　　Nine-year-old Roger is a miserable landlubber with a bad-tempered mother. So when he sees a poster for a cabin boy to join the pirates, he jumps at the chance - or he would have done if the pirates hadn't already bagged him! The next thing he knows, Roger is on board the Golden Behind with a bunch of the smelliest, hairiest, scariest pirates the world has ever seen - but will they be a match for Roger's mum?
