Gr 3—6—All famous pirates have nicknames to match their personality, and these brigands are no exception. Captain Ornery, aka Gloomy, Crybaby, and Lamebrain, has multiple personalities and more nicknames than treasure. He and his crew sail the seas taking over ships and stealing their loot. However, upon his return home, his haul is stolen, and he is forced to appear empty-handed before his truly fear-inspiring wife, Crabby. Gómez Cerdá has created a laugh-out-loud story that is sure to appeal both to boys and girls. Rojo's funny pictures, witty nicknames, odd treasures, and scenes full of slapstick comedy are meshed with an underlying message about recognizing one's strengths and knowing what really matters.—Erica Kindrick, Yolo County Library, CA
