Poppy, the irresistible scalawag, navigates uncharted waters when she’s called on to share her treasure with a tiny new shipmate.
Poppy is lonely. Now that summer is over, Suzy and Tim have gone back to school and Mom and Dad are back at work. What’s a pirate dog to do when there’s no one around to help her bury treasure? When her family decides to get her a friend to keep her company, Poppy is thrilled. But when she meets her new shipmate, he is not at all what she expected — or wanted! Will mutiny ensue? In her second full-color early reader, best-selling author Liz Kessler steers a course through the sometimes tumultuous waters of sibling rivalry through the eyes of a very funny and slightly neurotic pup.

Liz Kessler is the author of the first book about Poppy as well as the best-selling middle-grade series about half-mermaid Emily Windsnap, the Philippa Fisher series, and the novels A Year Without Autumn and North of Nowhere. She lives in England.
Mike Phillips has been illustrating children’s books for twenty years, from picture books for the very young to the gruesome Horrible Histories. He lives in a small fishing village in England with his family and dog, who, believe it or not, is also named Poppy.
K-Gr 2—It is often hard to adjust to a new addition to the family, and for Poppy, it is no different. When her family discovers that she is lonely when they leave for work and school, they eagerly adopt a "shipmate" for her. However, the newcomer is not the adventurous little puppy that Poppy had been hoping for. It is a kitten. Her disappointment turns to resentment when George uncovers Poppy's treasure and is allowed to sit in the middle of the family's bed. Poppy rejects her new sibling until an accident happens and Poppy is forced to make a very important decision. This book is perfect for children who are looking for an easy reader that contains more challenging vocabulary and a lengthier yet exciting text. The colorful ink and watercolor illustrations are lighthearted and provide terrific context clues.—Amy Shepherd, St. Anne's Episcopal School, Middleton, DE
