Description

Shivers, the scaredy-est pirate to ever sail the Seven Seas, is back. Comic book–like illustrations in each chapter bring Shivers to life and invite even the most reluctant readers to join the adventure. Perfect for fans of such series as Stick Dog, Big Nate, Dork Diaries, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

This time, Shivers must set sail again to get his beloved ship, the Land Lady, back from Mayor Sheila B. President. Shivers won’t be going alone, however. He’ll be bringing his best pal, Margo, and his loyal fishmate, Albee, on a clingy-clam and hot dog filled adventure. Like all good pirates, Shivers will just have to grab his swimmies (and his bunny slippers) and jump right into this epic tale.


Can the world’s most fearful pirate—and his trusty fishmate—get the Land Lady back?


  • Illustrated Chapter Book: Comic book-style art in every chapter brings Shivers’s hilarious panic to life, perfect for visual learners and fans of graphic novels.

  • Laugh-Out-Loud Humor: A wild adventure filled with clingy clams, a hot dog eating contest, and a pirate who faces his greatest fears… as long as he’s wearing his bunny slippers.
