Covers scuffed, creased and worn at edges and corners. Opening page corners folded; pages clean, with readable text and illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSam Hawkins has left ordinary pirate business behind for a new career as a detective, but life in Washed-upon-the-Beach is hardly short of unusual mysteries. A priceless cut-glass cutlass has gone missing, and finding it will require Sam to negotiate a world of suspicious characters, confusing clues and decidedly peculiar distractions. The search offers plenty of opportunities for pirate jokes and comic confusion, including a musical octopus and herrings that are far from straightforward. Ian Billings mixes the familiar pleasures of a detective case with a cheerfully absurd seaside setting, giving young readers a hero whose investigations rarely run smoothly. A playful adventure for children who enjoy wordplay, improbable situations and pirates with more than treasure on their minds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67822686240980,"sku":"TVJ-034919","price":4.6,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-034919-1.jpg?v=1792372137","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/sam-hawkins-pirate-detective-and-the-case-of-the-cut-glass-cutlass-billings","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
