    About this ebook

    A band of tiny swashbucklers battle the summer heat—and a sneaky spider—in this third book in a brand-new chapter book series about pocket-sized pirates!

    Up on the Pocket Pirates’ shelf, the summer heat is rising. Flies are swarming around Button’s pirate ship. And Mr Dregby, the house spider, has got his six hungry eyes peeled and his eight hairy legs ready for action…but Button is ready for danger!

      The Great Flytrap Disaster - Chris Mould

      At the end of the street is an old junk shop. It’s gloomy and shabby and nothing ever happens there. At least, that’s what most people think. . . .

      Among the odds and ends and things of no use, a dusty ship in a bottle sits gathering cobwebs on a shelf. But when the world isn’t watching, a tiny pirate crew comes out to explore.

      And when you’re smaller than a teacup, a junk shop can be a pretty dangerous place. . . .

      Button awoke to a loud noise. He couldn’t quite work out what it was, so he hopped down from his hammock. What on earth is happening? he asked, as he climbed through the glass neck of the bottle to see what all the commotion was.

      There is no such thing as a normal day on the shelf. When you are smaller than a pepper shaker, you are often faced with some kind of wild adventure. And while the Pocket Pirates had been enjoying a good long summer, the blazing sun had brought all sorts of problems. As Captain Crabsticks had just discovered, even a gentle morning’s walk past the old books to the candlestick could be filled with deadly terror.

      Button was deafened by a terrible buzzing. Rubbing his tired eyes, he caught sight of his captain. Sword drawn, Captain Crabsticks was battling a fly that was as big as a Labrador would be to me and you.

      Bzzzzzzzzzzzz it droned, as it darted around him. The Captain thrust his sword in its direction. The fly was fast, but the sword hand of the Captain was a good match for it.

      Away, you blighter. Go on, old chap, shoo. He darted around, darning needle in hand.

      Button watched, enjoying the entertainment. Lily, over here! he shouted. I’ve not seen a good pirate versus insect swordfight for a while. His shipmate and best friend, Lily, appeared out of the bottle to join him. The flies and wasps had been driving them crazy and hopefully the Captain’s steel blade would teach them a lesson.

      How exciting, gasped Lily.

      Swoosh. One final swash and buckle of the sword sent the giant fly swooping across the back of the shelf, but what happened next was not what they’d expected. By now Uncle Noggin had joined them and the crew stood together watching as the fly crashed straight into a huge spiderweb.

      Oh, poor old thing, said the Captain. I only meant to scare him off.

      The crew stood together, looking up at the web. It had always
