BR2-05: Percy and the Pirates

"We steal for Crook'cos he's the best

           Then put the treasure in his chest."(p.16)

 I think Percy is a smart boy and the captain of the pirates, named Crook, is a stupid man.  He killed his crews because they took a little treasure from bringing treasure.  The Captain Crook wanted all treasure and didn't give the crews anything.  I thought the crews must want to get something because they worked to get treasure.  But he killed them and there are just two people, Percy and Captain Crook.  If other crews are alive, Captain Crook wouldn't be taken in by Percy.  It was the natural consequences of his own misdeed.

 In this book, Percy, his family, Captain Crook and the other crews in Pirates ship are drawn in nice pictures.  Using colors is good.  I recommend that you read this book.
