What is The pirate curse about?

Jake Cake's extraordinary adventures continue in three hilarious stories from his notebook. First, Jake is cursed by the ghost of Old Crusty, a fierce pirate who expects everyone to swab the decks. Then he discovers an alien pretending to be his granny, before encountering a particularly mean genie with a talent for causing trouble. With Jake's funny comments and lively illustrations throughout, these wildly imaginative tales turn ordinary moments into unforgettable disasters.
