Meet author Dalton James


The Sneakiest Pirates
In his first book, James shows that adventure on the high seas doesn't have to be complicated. When Peg Leg Chuck sets out to steal the King's loot, Pirate Pete and his dad, Scurvy James beat him at his own game. Both entertaining and interesting with illustrations that make even an adult smile, The Sneakiest Pirates delivers.
