"Blue Jay, the pirate captain has a fondness for eggs. When his latest treasured egg hatches, and produces a rather large bird, the fun has just begun. Wonderfully descriptive language helps readers visualize this avian pirate adventure."

The High-Skies Adventures of Blue Jay the Pirate Listener Reviews

" This book is darling! It's perfect for elementary school. The chapters are an easy length and every couple of pages there's a good vocabulary word to learn. "

" The illustrations are the best part. It's cute but I'm in the mood for something else. "

" Fun premise - bird pirates. Great adventure story. Terrific illustrations. "

" I really liked the premise of this book (Blue Jay pirate) and the illustrations. But that's just about it. The story was surprisingly dull, and it's a bit violent--it features numerous battles and deaths. The story themes of oppression and revolution did not seem age appropriate (at least for my six year old). "

" Wonderfully imaginative. Similar to some of the stories of the Redwall series, but for younger audiences. "

" I thought this book was full of fun and adventure. My son is just a little too young for this book at this time but I had my little cousin read it and he loved it. "

" I thought this book was just too fun for words :) - not to mention the illustrations within really made the book come alive. "

" A middle grade fiction novel detailing the adventures of Blue Jay the Pirate, who hauls in a mysterious egg that hatches into a gosling named Gabriel, ultimately his crew into battle with nefarious crows. Takes a while to get going, but delivers an enjoyable adventure story once it does. "
