Customer Reviews

THE MOST FANTASTIC BOOK YOU'LL EVER READ!!!!!!

It all starts out with someone I really would call a "Not so Jolly Roger." They have pistols, daggars and lots of cool weapons in this book. (Violent). Something always goes wrong-wich always happens in books-of course. Get this book or I'll be "The not so Jolly Roger."

The not so Jolly Roger

I liked The not so Jolly Roger becuase it was a mystery and I love myseries. My favorite part was when Fred was reading a book and Fred got sucked into one of the pages. The not so Jolly roger could be better by taking out the part when a pirate shoots his mates after they got done buring the treasure they found. Iread the story becuase in the first book of the series, it was really interesting,so it made me think The not so Jolly Roger was going to be interesting.S.W.

The Not So Jolly Roger

We think the book,the Time Warp Trio The Not So Jolly Roger is funny and packed with adventure.In this story the three boys Joe,Fred,and Sam go in the magic book in the time of Black Beard the pirate. In the beginning they see a ship with three big cannons aimed right at them.The boys hurry up and climb coconut trees to escape.From the top they spy Black Beard on the ship.Trying to get down,they get stuck in the trees. After they get down from the trees, the three boys see Black Beard and his treasure. Two of the pirates were going to take it, but Black Beard saw them and shot them. Black Beard then thought the trio were going to try and steal his treasure. Will the boys ever find the book and get home? If you want to find out, read this book.

Much fun for little boys

My two sons (ages 6 and 8) and I had much fun reading this--they were already fans of pirate lore with pirate Legos and who love to dress up and play pirates in the braken. You'll love it too, and besides, boys need more literature with fun, fantasy, silliness, and adventure!

This is the best book from the time warp trio.

The story is about Fred, Sam and Joe, stuck on an island. Pirate Blackbeard comes and takes them captive on his ship. When they are on the ship it is attacked. Blackbeard sees Fred, Sam, and Joe hiding behind barrels. Fred, Sam and Joe decide to help Blackbeard because if they didn' t they might not live. The cannon was pointing towards the ship so they all pulled it up and saved the ship. I liked the book because of the characters. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes pirates. I liked Fred, Sam and Joe climbed into the trees and threw coconuts at each other. I liked when people buried treasure. by Tommy Currier
