For the Walker children, sailing the boat Swallow to an island for a camping trip is a fantastic adventure. But soon they find themselves under attack from the fierce pirates of the Amazon, Nancy and Peggy. And so begins the battles, alliances and discoveries in a summer like no other. I absolutely loved this book as a boy.... The simple line drawings were just wonderful; they gave the feeling of wide open spaces and freedom. -- Tony Ross My childhood simply would not have been the same without this book. It created a whole world to explore, one that lasted long in the imagination after the final page had been read -- Markus Sedgwick All the thrills of Treasure Island and Robinson Crusoe * Daily Telegraph * The very stuff of play * The Guardian * Thrilling not only to young readers fond of the sea, but also to older readers who remember how they enjoyed sea stories when they themselves were young * Scotsman *
