[Mary · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book we borrowed from our library with this ISBN is called Captain Flinn and the Pirate Dinosaurs: Smugglers Bay, which I can't find anywhere else on Goodreads which is surprising as the others in the series are there... assume this is the one I was looking for!

Enjoyed by my kindy kid more than by his mum (unlike Sir Scallywag).

Fun little read

[Laura · Rating 2 out of 5]

I love the first two Captain Flinn books and thought I would enjoy this as well. It follows the successful formula set in the original book, which was just fine. My problem was that the mounds and splatters of pink sausage meat are so repulsive I never want to see the book again. And there's an expletive at the end that, granted, would probably only bother a Mormon, but between that and the stomach-churning I do when I see the sausage mounds I'm regretting the $5 I spent on this book.
