Synopsis

A funny fantasy-adventure series for fans of LEMONY SNICKET, NEIL GAIMAN, and CRESSIDA COWELL

Have you ever picked your nose? Have you ever picked your nose and EATEN IT? Have you ever picked your nose, eaten it, and, by doing so, opened a portal to a world run by PIRATES?

Mabel Jones has.

Kidnapped, Mabel is forced to serve aboard The Feroshus Maggot with the strangest crew you’ll ever meet. And the captain—an odious wolf named Idryss Ebenezer Split—won’t let her go until she helps the pirates uncover the treasure they seek. 

Mabel’s voyage takes her across the Greasy Pole of Certain Death, into the belly of a whale, and underground to a decrepit crypt. And she does it all…in pajamas!

Read on if you dare. You are promised a most unlikely adventure.

Goodreads review by Heather

Listened to the audiobook with my 12 year old. Solidly silly fun and we highly recommend reading the hard copy book alongside with the audio. The illustrations and font play in the book add so much whimsy and adventure, and the audio narrator does a fantastic job with the telling of the story.......more

Quotes

PRAISE FOR THE UNLIKELY ADVENTURES OF MABEL JONES:

"First in a series, this comical novel should become a readaloud favorite." —Publishers Weekly, starred review!

"A zany and twisted pirate tale . . . for readers transitioning into longer chapter books." —School Library Journal
