Just when the inhabitants of Little Snoring think they've seen the last of Gruesome and Grisly McNasty, the pirate twins unexpectedly—and very disgustingly—find themselves on the deck of The Good Hope. The nasty pair quickly casts out the ship's crew, commandeers the vessel and sets sail once again to Little Snoring, in search of Captain Syd's lost treasure. It's up to two local kids, Tat and Hetty, to devise a clever trap to lure the witless duo to their capture. But when things go awry, Tat and Hetty become the captives instead. Are the friends doomed to a dastardly death at sea? Perfect for beginning readers who love an outrageous and fast-moving story, the Ghastly McNasty series offers a lively blend of clever illustrations, slapstick comedy and toilet humor. With playful asides, odd characters and, of course, nasty pirates, this last book is a goofy, over-the-top and irresistibly fun end to the series.

      Gr 3-6-Set sail for another adventure featuring the pernicious pirates known as the Ghastly McNastys. After an encounter with a large fishing trawler and being expelled from the stomach of a giant killer whale, Gruesome and Grisly McNasty are once again on the path to finding their long-lost treasure. Characters from previous adventures band together to stop the pirates in their tracks and prevent them from creating havoc. Gardner dives right into her story, establishing necessary background along the way. Heavily illustrated, this is a great pick for reluctant readers. The jokes come at a rat-a-tat pace, and young readers will delight in the wordplay. A few of the jokes employ Briticisms and may go over the heads of some readers, but overall this is a fun ride on the high seas that will have fans clamoring for more.

      The Ghastly McNasty pirates are back to wreak more havoc. While Jamie (Tat's cousin) battles the McNastys at sea, Tat and Hetty search for the lost treasure. When they reunite and join forces, they foil the pirates (for now). This third series volume, though more disjointed than its predecessors, offers an engaging mix of eccentric characters, goofy meta-commentary, and high-seas action.
