Fancy running away to sea with a pirate?
Sam does. He’s an ordinary guy who wears ordinary clothes and has an ordinary job. But his mother is a PIRATE! Blimey! One day Sam quits his ordinary life to run off to the sea with his pirate Mum. Travelling by wheelbarrow and kite, their journey is full of surprises, high-jinks and hilarity.
