REVIEW
Wally, a golden retriever pup, left the farm in order to find a place to call home. When he encounters a crew of puppy pirates he is determined to join them. The problem is that he is afraid of a lot of things and the pirate crew isn't exactly welcoming. So, Wally stows away in a crate of steak. While in hiding he runs into another stowaway, a young boy named Henry. Together the two must face the plank and pass the tests the captain puts before them in order to become part of the crew. First, I have to say that the cover is absolutely adorable with the puppy in the pirate hat. Secondly, the story moves quickly and pleasingly. Wally is a fun character that puppy-loving readers will want to cheer for, especially as he faces the challenges put before him. The other characters are just as charming, from the pug twins, Puggly and Piggly, who love to pull pranks, to Captain Red Beard, who'd forget his hat if it wasn't on his head to the rascally Chihuahua cook, Steak-eye, who only cooks nasty tasting stew (at least until Wally gets involved). For young readers who like pirate stories and puppy stories this series is a surefire winner.

REVIEW
Wally, the golden retriever puppy, and his pirate friends are off to find treasure. With Growlin' Grace's treasure map they are sure to find it. But the map appears to be blank and it takes Henry, Wally's best human friend to figure out why. Once they reach the island, all the excitement leads the crew to leave Wally, Henry, Puggly and Piggly (mischievous pug twins) behind. Can they find the rest of the crew? What about the treasure that seems to be guarded by a bunch of dalmatian. A fun addition to the Puppy Pirates series for young readers who enjoy adventure stories with lots of excitement and plenty of amusement. The theme of just what makes a treasure shines through without being heavy handed.
