Magic Faces Heroes of the Pirate Ship

About this book

When twins Austin and Alanna find a face painting set at their aunt’s house, little do they know it’s magic! The paintbrush daubs their faces and sets them a mission: to find a treasure chest. Now they look like pirates, and when they and their dog Ozzy walk through a magical mist, they arrive on a pirate ship! Luckily, the pirates on the New Leaf are pretty friendly. But when two new pirates row up in a small boat and start snooping around, Austin and Alanna are suspicious. Can they find the treasure and help their crew mates before their time in this world is up?

This is the first in a charming new series starring the twins and their magic face paints. In each book they have an adventure in a different world, with superheroes and monsters following pirates. With friendly illustrations in colour on every spread, and short chapters, this is a good choice for newly confident readers looking for gentle adventure.
