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.
Sincerely,
Mysterious Warrior
Interesting ... I've always liked pirate tales, but I've never heard of this one. Thanks for telling us about the reading at the library!
