Reading Planet: Astro – Hookwell's School for Proper Pirates 3 - Venus/Gold band

Josh Cutler is enjoying his first term at Hookwell's School.

It's the top school for the children of pirates. But Josh has a problem. His mum isn't a pirate - she's a pilot! And Josh's enemy, Erin, suspects something fishy is going on ...

Not only that, but Hookwell's School is running out of money, and is in danger of closing!

Will Amber's map lead Josh and his friends to treasure so they can keep the school open? Or will sly Captain Squint and his Grabbit pupils get there first?
