"This swashbuckling historical-fantasy adventure resonates with the charm and gumption of George from The Famous Five dropped into Horrible Histories, but with the story world glamour of Pirates of the Caribbean." Audiobook read by the award-winning Morwenna Banks (voice of Mummy Pig in Peppa Pig). Katherine the Worrier becomes Katherine the Warrior!Katherine's move to the famous castle town of Carrickfergus promises a new beginning for an unconventional, wanderlust family trying to salvage a life shattered by personal grief.

Home-schooled, socially awkward, and a self-diagnosed worrier with only a teddy bear and a rabbit as companions, obsessively curious Katherine hides from the world in books because the worry beast doesn't lurk there.

But when Sammy the Bull and his gang of Terribles invade her garden, demanding the return of his former hideout, all seems lost.

Desperate to reestablish sole command over her enchanted garden, Katherine accepts his "easy peasy" challenge, only to discover that finding girl pirates was more than for which she bargained.

Forced to navigate the world outside of her sanctuary, Katherine must find a way to go back in time to discover girl pirates before Sammy the Bull can retake the garden. As Katherine struggles to find her feet in a world peppered with deception, ruses, betrayal, loss, and even a ghost ship, she discovers the emotional strength to face her worst fears.

With the help of her go-to bear, Bienkie, the desperate-to-be-a-superhero rabbit and the remarkable Harry Gold and the Pieces of Eight, Katherine shows the world that, bullies beware, girls can do anything and everything!Boys are allowed as long as they can keep up!18 Colour Double Spreads and 100+ Black and White Illustrations
