Beschreibungen
A hilarious retelling of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, with not one but TWO twists!
Tom has a VERY important job; every day he climbs to the top of the hill and watches for pirate ships. But when he rings his bell and shouts "Pirates!" a few too many times - and there's NO pirate ship - the villagers begin to get tired of hiding. So what will happen when the pirates really do show up?
Repeated phrases make it fun for young adventurers to join in with the storytelling, and witty, bold artwork by Matt Hunt adds to the excitement, with hilarious things to spot on every rereading.
John Condon has been shortlisted for various awards including the LoveReading4Kids Children's Book Awards.
Matt Hunt has been nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal, and his book Stephen Hawking: Little People, Big Dreams was an Amazon bestseller.

John Condon (Author)
When John was a child he was always drawing. So much so that his mother and most of his teachers assumed he would one day become an illustrator or a designer; certainly not an author. Okay, technically he did become a designer... but he's an author too. Which doesn't surprise John in the least. John was born and raised in London, but he currently lives on its outskirts where it's a little leafier. Importantly for him though, it's just a train ride away from the buzz of town. His favourite holidays involve the sea, which inspires many of his story ideas. Although he doesn't like to swim in it, he finds the sound of the waves calming and life affirming. He hopes one day to live close enough to the sea to hear it always. As long as it's not too far from London. Obviously!
Matt Hunt (Illustrator)
Matt Hunt was born in Redditch, Worcestershire in 1988. Starting out as a fine artist, he graduated from the Birmingham School of Art, and from these roots, developed a love for children's illustration. He currently shares a house with his wife Hayley and two cats. Matt works in mixed media, utilising paint, pens, crayons, and digital. He loves to create new and interesting characters and write stories for them. He's influenced by old movies, classic illustration, cartoons and books.
