Great kid's book, filled with swashbuckling adventure and fun.  The legendary pirate Captain Red Shoes has captured Truedessa for himself, but Captain Pat rescues her after he and his crew attack Red Shoes.  The battles and action in this book are sure to have your kid hanging onto every word in this book, and the illustrations are great and detailed so your kid will come back to this book to admire something new in the pictures.I loved that Truedessa got her time to shine as well (pun intended).  Her powers keep her from falling into the disappointing "damsel in distress" trope, and she assists in her own rescue and in the battle that follows it.  She's a great character, and one your daughter can admire.This is a great book by Pat Hatt, filled with rhymes, and a must for any children's books collection.
