What is How Not to Be a Pirate about?

Wilbur is certain he is not cut out to be a pirate. He hates heights, gets seasick and is terrified of firing cannons. Yet he must complete his Level One Pirate Grading alongside his friends Ellie and Gilbert. Their challenge is to find one of the legendary Jewels of the Sea before rival crews do. As they face cursed treasure, dangerous storms, cannon battles and booby-trapped islands, Wilbur must discover whether bravery means being fearless—or carrying on despite being afraid.
