Publisher: Stripes
The Leaky Battery is home to a motley crew of robot pirates and one human cabin boy (who is actually a girl) and they are enjoying their new found freedom after escaping the clutches of the King of England. However, when a mechanical albatross lands on their ship luring them back to steal the Crown Jewels their desire for gold outweighs common sense. Little do they know that it is a trap designed by their inventor, Mr Richmond Swift, who is awaiting them with an army of advanced soldier robots ready to attack!
The Steampunk Pirates are an incredible set of characters, and any child with a sense of adventure and a good imagination is sure to enjoy following them on their crazy escapades.
