Encouragingly spread out with a chunky, friendly format, Molly Rogers to the Rescue will be enjoyed by both girls and boys embarking on a lifelong journey through the wonders of books and stories.
A great book about Molly and her mum going to Monkey Skull Island and defeating pirates.
It was a great book. In the story, Molly and her mum rescue a man from sharks. He lives on Monkey Skull Island and loves animals. Pirates attack the island to get the treasure. Molly, the man, and the animals work together to defeat the pirates. I thought the jokes were very funny. I really liked the names of the island and characters. I wished there were more crew members in the story because then it would be more exciting. I liked the adjectives and the descriptions of the people and the island. I really liked the part about the Kraken, it was both exciting and funny. Firebeard, the pirate captain, should've said where his child prisoners were from but other than that it was amazing.
I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
A lovely adventure story with a lot of girl power!
Molly Rogers is a lovely book filled with vibrant characters and illustrations. Anyone up to mischief better beware when Molly Rogers and her mum are around. In this book, Molly and her mother, Barbarous Berther find out that Monkey Skull Island is being destroyed by Capain Firebeard on his quest for buried treasure. It's up to the mother and daughter duo and their friends to save the island and it's inhabitants.
A swashbuckling story with adventure and vibrant illustrations, I think that this will be enjoyed by a whole crew of readers. This book is very easy to read and would be great for newly independent readers.
