This summer, Matilda is going on holiday with her friends, the Jolley-Rogers. Their destination is the island of Scurvy Sands - a favourite holiday destination for pirates.When Matilda arrives, the swashbuckling residents are not too impressed with her. She has clean teeth, tidy clothes and doesnt smell like shes been at sea for six months without washing - shes definitely no pirate. But when Matilda discovers the secret of the legendary treasure of Scurvy Sands, the pirates decide that maybe some lubbers arent so bad.
