“A long parade of sailors and dogs raced back toward the HMS Intrepid. Just as they boarded the ship, a loud crack pierced the dawn! Plumes of blue smoke wafted from Murdoch’s musket. 'Ye didn’t think we’d be watchin’ for this kind of thing, did ya Boy Cap’n? Now hand ‘em over!' 'Not a chance, pirate!' cried Highworth as he drew out his sword.”--excerpt from Patches and Penelope: Adventure on the High Seas

“Children love dogs, princesses and pirates! By combining them into one story with plenty of adventure, the book is sure to be a child’s favorite!”--Seth Bly-Char, author of Patches and Penelope: Adventure on the High Seas.
