0:24:50 > 0:24:57.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10I love adventures, and so does the hero of this book, Sam Silver.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Imagine this, one day, Sam sat in his bedroom
0:25:13 > 0:25:16above his parents' fish and chip shop, polishing his gold doubloon.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20The next, he's time-travelled backwards 300 years onto a ship.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Shiver me timbers! Me too!
0:25:25 > 0:25:27And not just any ship.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29A pirate ship.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31The Sea Wolf.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Better keep an eye out. Some pirates think girls bring bad luck to a ship.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41I don't want to end up walking the plank.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43But then again, Sam's a boy,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45and the crew don't exactly give him a warm welcome either.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00The pirates are all set to throw Sam overboard as a tasty lunchtime snack.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Until he shows them a treasure map
0:26:07 > 0:26:10from his pirate ancestor, Joseph Silver.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14The tiniest chance of treasure changes everything.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Now, Sam's not shark food, he's an honorary crew member.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20He is a fellow buccaneer. He's a pirate!
0:26:26 > 0:26:29If you're thinking that pirate stories
0:26:29 > 0:26:30are all about boys, forget it.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34In this story, you'll see that girls make brave and tough pirates too.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Ship ahoy! The Grinning Skull.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Just as well, because when your deadliest enemies
0:26:41 > 0:26:43are out on the ocean, ready to do battle,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45you're going to need all hands on deck.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Now this is my kind of adventure.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50SHE READS Boom! The sound of the enemy cannon
0:26:50 > 0:26:54made Sam feel as if all his teeth had come loose in his head. Ooh!
0:26:54 > 0:26:57It was even louder than the time the oven had exploded at home
0:26:57 > 0:26:58and they'd had to call the fire brigade.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Cannonballs pounded into the water, making the ship rock with each blast.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09A missile whizzed over their heads and smashed into one of the topsails.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12The sail was ripped from its tethers and flapped uselessly.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14"Get that repaired!" ordered the captain,
0:27:14 > 0:27:16"We need all the sails we can muster!"
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- PIRATE OUTSIDE:- Cease fire!
0:27:28 > 0:27:31If you grab a copy of the first Sam Silver adventure,
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Skeleton Island, then you can join Sam and his pirate crew
0:27:35 > 0:27:37as they search for Joseph Silver's treasure,
0:27:37 > 0:27:39and go on some amazing pirate adventures.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Talking of which, time for me to go home.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Er...where are the crew?
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Hello?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Hello?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Hello?!
