Reviews

[Lidköpings Stadsbibliotek · Rating 4 out of 5]

En lite kuslig men rolig bok där man blir mer insatt i berättelsen än vad man tänkt. Man får följa en liten berättelse om en pojk och en båtsman när de är fångade på sjörövarskeppet där ingen mindre än sjörövaren Flinthjärta är kapten. Hur ska detta gå…?
