About the Author
Hailed as the J. K. Rowling of Germany, beloved and bestselling author CORNELIA FUNKE has written numerous magical novels and chapter books for children. Her New York Times bestsellers include The Thief Lord, Dragon Rider, and Inkheart. She was once named one of the 100 most influential people by Time magazine. She was born in Germany and lives with her family in California.
From School Library Journal
Gr 1–3—Two sailors find a pig washed ashore in a barrel, and much to their surprise, she can sniff out sunken treasure in the sea. Everything seems wonderful, with the sailors taking just enough treasure to meet their needs. When word starts spreading about this talented pig, however, the sailors discover she was trained by pirates—pirates who will do their best to get their pig back after hearing rumors about the wealth she's uncovered. Funke has written a simple, fun story with plenty of humor and adventure. The translation is smart, with great vocabulary throughout. Although this is essentially a beginning chapter book, there are no chapter breaks, which may prove daunting for newly independent readers. VERDICT The Pirate Pig deserves a spot on early chapter book shelves alongside her porcine cousin, Mercy Watson to the Rescue (Candlewick, 2005).—Amy Koester, Learning Experiences Department, Skokie PL
