In this book, Jack Plank works as a pirate cook. His crew mates could not not afford to keep him, so they leave him on a nearby inhabited island with a bag of gold florins. He looks around for a temporary home and goes to one. He looks for jobs and tells stories about why he can't do them.
Jack Plank Tells Tales is a great book worth reading if you like fiction. It has a great display of imagination. I rate it three stars.
The Corinth Library, one of the Johnson County Libraries (in Kansas) is featuring a book reading of Jack Plank Tells Tales on June 8, 2010.
