Pirates Aren't Afraid of the Dark!

Jack is so excited to spend the night in the backyard in his pirate tent. His younger sister, Lily, who is pretending to be a fairy, wants to stay in the tent, too. "No way!" Jack snorts. "It will be spooky and there will be scary sea monsters." Lily continues to beg Jack to let her stay in the tent. "Pirates aren't afraid of the dark," he tells her, "but fairies are! No fairies allowed!" That night, Jack is playing in the tent when his flashlight goes out. And when he hears a rustling sound outside, he doesn't feel quite so brave after all....

Maudie Powell-Tuck spends too much of her time in expensive shops looking at clothes and glittery things she can’t afford, and dreaming about owning a pug named Stanley (when she's not writing, of course). She’d love to say that she runs marathons – but that would be a lie.
