How to Train Your Dragon Book 2: How to Be a Pirate CustomerReview
Cowell has to be one of the funniest authors currently in children's literature. She manages to take picture book charm, heart, and morality and push it up a few more years to juvenile fiction--and she is one funny and talented author that serves up her jaunty, thoroughly British writing with plenty of hilarity.
The young Vikings are learning everything a good Viking pirate should know when a mysterious coffin appears. Of course it is opened, and out pops a man claiming to know the location of a legendary buried treasure. Any reader familiar with the ways of children's literature would probably suspect this isn't good. You could take it either as obvious or as fun suspicion ala "Series of Unfortunate Events" and go with it. I recommend the latter.
Cowell keeps up all the humor of the first book. It's zany, boyish, and even sometimes dark, but gosh darn it if it doesn't work. Once more, there's a great little message. Frankly, it's rare to see a book that is all at once well-written, well-told, funny, and packs a message and heart.
