Ghastly McNastys: Fright in the Night, The

Just when the inhabitants of Little Snoring think they’ve seen the last of Gruesome and Grisly McNasty, the pirate twins unexpectedly --- and very disgustingly --- find themselves on the deck of The Good Hope. The nasty pair quickly casts out the ship’s crew, commandeers the vessel and sets sail once again to Little Snoring, in search of Captain Syd’s lost treasure. It’s up to two local kids, Tat and Hetty, to devise a clever trap to lure the witless duo to their capture. But when things go awry, Tat and Hetty become the captives instead. Are the friends doomed to a dastardly death at sea? Perfect for beginning readers who love an outrageous and fast-moving story, the Ghastly McNasty series offers a lively blend of clever illustrations, slapstick comedy and toilet humor. With playful asides, odd characters and, of course, nasty pirates, this last book is a goofy, over-the-top and irresistibly fun end to the series.
