2015 MOM’S CHOICE AWARD: HONORING EXCELLENCE SEAL OF APPROVAL

Join Christopher and Lucy, Leo the Attack-Mouse-for-Hire, Sugar the Monkey, and a throng of talking bats—as they battle pirates on the high seas. When 13-year-old Christopher runs away from an orphanage, he is kidnapped by undercover pirates who force him to pretend he is a mute relative, as the villains sign on to a merchant ship they are plotting to plunder. Christopher discovers he can talk with a highly skilled mouse who offers to teach him Five Life Lessons. The Captain’s 12-year-old daughter Lucy discovers the truth about Christopher and befriends him. But can they stop the pirates? Get ready for all the fun, hidden treasure, swordfights, terrifying storms and island paradise adventures that make pirate sagas so exciting. What sets Arrgh! apart from standard swashbucklers is its young hero’s longing for family, and how he comes to find a family he will treasure forever.

A delightful symphony for children, tuned with evocative prose that conjures images of the seafaring life. Satisfying and well-told.—Kirkus Reviews

Arrgh! is a true treasure.—Midwest Book Review

An awesome book. It will make kids long for the adventurous life of piratedom.
 I also enjoyed the illustrations, maps, and glossary of seafaring terms
.—Readers’ Favorite

The fighting is light, making it a really good MG book. An entertaining story that can be enjoyed by older teens and adults alike.—Books and Ashes Blog

Heroes to love, villains to hate, and lovable guides...Inspiring, fun
.—Sunshine, Bubbles & Books

Delightful, adventurous and sometimes heart pumping. I could not put it down!

Hush has been optioned for a film. A graduate of the University of Washington, Campbell is a dyslexic writer who encourages all children to write what is in their heart, and if they are diagnosed with a learning challenge such as dyslexia, to see the positive side could be an increased talent for creativity.
