Beastie Bros – The Curse of Captain Slugbeard
Book Review
The illustrations just added to my already active imagination
It was amazing and super cool. It made me laugh and kept me interested the whole way through. The story kept me in suspense the whole time.
Dribble and Dash are framed for stealing buried treasure when in fact they had tried to stop it from being stolen. The twists and turns of this story, how they proved their innocence took me across the ocean in a different way.
The illustrations just added to my already active imagination.
The moral of the story is not only to not take things that do not belong to you but also to fight for justice if you have been accused of something you did not do!
I have read all of the Beastie Bros books, which I loved and this one lived up to my expectations. I can’t wait for the next one.
About the Book
Dribble has a new invention: a Bubbler (made from superpowered midge farts), perfect for making fizzy drinks.
Cool Nat promises to trial the invention in Grottibottigan’s Juice Bar if the bros fetch him some seaweed from Bogbrush-on-Sea.
But the treacherous pirate Captain Slugbeard is rumoured to have buried his treasure on the very beach they’re going to.
And he’s placed a terrible curse of bad luck upon anyone who tries to nab his loot.
