Kris & The Pirates (The Adventures of Kris) by Art Blegen – Review by Santana Hicks

Kris & The Pirates: The Adventures of Kris by Art Blegen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kris is supposed to go to a costume party later on in the day. She doesn’t want to go therefore she didn’t get a costume ready. She decided to just wear her Halloween costume that is now too small. Her father suggests going as a pirate since that appears to be a quick and easy costume but Kris insists that she hates pirates.

Kris settles into a book where she fully immerses herself into it and finds herself sailing the seas with some sailors. They find an island close by to go swimming. Little did they know that this island was full of pirates ready to capture the crew and steal their ship.

Kris is the only one who got away so it is up to her to rescue her fellow crew mates. Kris has to face her fear of pirates if she wants to return home. She meets some animal friends along the way to help her.

This book was very vividly written. The author went into such beautiful detail about the surrounding areas that it was easy to see myself there with Kris. I also really liked how the author gave the animals personalities close to their actual animal traits, throwing in some information about animals along this adventure.
