A fierce little woman’s solitary life (filled with knitting, playing the bagpipes, and fishing) is suddenly interrupted by a self-proclaimed wicked pirate with an adorable parrot and an utterly unexpected, dark, secret. A spirited standoff ensues with an surprising and very satisfying outcome.
The boys particularly love the parrot and pirate. I’m partial to that fierce little knitting woman. But we all love the very happy ending.
