It's Pea's birthday, and all the family are gathered around to celebrate. But there's one person missing - her dad. She has never known him, but is the story Mum always told her (the one about Dad being a pirate) really true? What is this mysterious Piratical Father doing now? So begins Pea's quest to track down her dad once and for all . . .
Susie Day grew up in Penarth, Wales, with a lisp and a really unfortunate choice of first name.
She
has had lots of jobs, including guiding tourists and professional
nappy-changing - but she always wanted to be a writer. Her first book, Whump! in which Bill falls 632 miles down a manhole, won the BBC Talent Children's fiction prize, and was published in 2004.
Susie now lives in Oxford, England, and eats a lot of cake and drinks a lot of tea.
