Review: One of the best pirate stories for children

Let me just point it out that Arnel Millos’ illustrations for this Patt Hatt book transported me back to my own childhood—the art works exude a somewhat 1980s feel to them, and as a parent, I love it when I share with my kids something that I strongly feel about.‘Fight for the Light’ is about a favourite topic among kids: pirates! Legendary pirate Captain Red Shoes has a new “possession”: the beautiful Truedessa. The pirate’s sworn enemy, Captain Pat, comes to rescue Truedessa, but not without good old swashbuckling action that kids will simply love when read out loud to them. Also, as it turns out, Truedessa has the power to glow, and she uses this to aide in her escape. Most importantly, she ends up to be the one rescuing Captain Pat—which I believe is what makes this story a must-read for young kids as it actually turn the “damsel in distress” cliché on its head.A truly fun pirate book from my favourite children’s book author Pat Hatt, ‘Fight for the Light’ is a more-than-welcome addition to anyone’s collection of children’s books.
