Shivers! The Pirate Who's Afraid of EVERYTHING by Annabeth Bondor-Stone and Connor White

Shivers is the most scaredy-cat pirate you have ever seen.  He's scared of the ocean, other pirates, squids, snails, and pretty much everything else.  He lives on a pirate ship permanently settled on the beach while his brave pirate parents and older brother go on adventures.

But Shivers is going to have to face his fears!  His parents and brothers have been captured and it is up to Shivers and his new friend Margo to rescue them.


Check out this fun pirate adventure for grade schoolers.  It's also available as an audio performed by co-author Connor White.
