ROBIN RUMBLEBELLY
AND THE SARDINE KING
Set sail on a wildly imaginative pirate adventure—perfect for readers who love The Sea Beast, How to Train Your Dragon, and Percy Jackson!
Twelve-year-old Robin Rumblebelly may be the son of the most feared pirate on the seas, but he's got a lot to prove—and fast. On his thirteenth birthday, he sets sail across uncharted seas, to earn his father’s respect and prove that, one day, he might deserve to inherit the family’s island of fantastical riches.
But being captain isn’t all treasure maps and sword fights. It’s sticky, stormy, and full of mistakes. To survive, Robin will have to learn what it really means to lead—and who he really wants to be.
Packed with magic, humor, heart, and unforgettable characters, Robin Rumblebelly and the Sardine King is the first book in a bold new series that will capture imaginations and make readers laugh out loud.
