Captain Sunshine

About this book

Bella is setting sail as the new captain of the Sunshine! The ship is packed with animal passengers, ready to enjoy their cruise. But Bella and her crew discover that a rival ship wants to sabotage their voyage. Can they outwit the sneaky sailors and prove that their ship is the best on the seas? It will take teamwork, kindness - and a singing capybara!

The multi-talented Alex Milway brings us another sweet adventure packed with animal antics and fun illustrations in blue. The animal characters are quirky and interesting, from Auntie Sylvie the seafaring walrus to Mr Hopper, the frog with seasickness, and Flip and Flap, the entertainer penguins. But it's Bella the reader roots for, as she learns how to be the captain in her own way. With lots of chapters to mark your progress through the story, and fantastic illustrations on every page, this is a delight to read. It should appeal to newly confident readers.
