Siblings Piet and Pippo sign on to the "Wild Minna," Captain Knurrfisch's pirate ship. Although they are initially called "half portions," the crew soon takes the two to heart. If only it weren't for that pesky sixth pirate rule: "Women and girls are forbidden on board." What no one must know is that Pippo is actually Pippa and is a girl! When foreign pirates attack the "Wild Minna" and put everyone in chains, Piet and Pippa show what they're made of: they quietly climb out of the crow's nest, free the captives, and outsmart the attackers. Thus, the smallest end up being the biggest, and the sixth pirate rule urgently needs to be changed! Pirates hold a special fascination for children. Use this enthusiasm for an exciting, humorous, and adventurous first full-length book.
