Young Alvin sails off with a band of pirates, who seem to think that he is their captain, and they all engage in a food fight with the crew of another pirate ship.
We read this because we found it on the 1001 books to read before growing up book. Very imaginative, but my kiddos we not impressed or super engaged. Fun read, but then they were done from there. I'm thinking kids who like the idea of being a pirate captain.
