Crackpot Pirates - Coming in 2026

A Chapter Book Series Full of High-Seas Humor and Heart

Set sail on a wildly whimsical adventure in Wings of Pride, the first book in the Crackpot Pirates series—where sea monsters hold grudges, pirate ships have rubber ducky figureheads, and one boy’s pride lands him in a feathered predicament.

Meet Edrick, an orphan who dreams of legendary voyages. But when his bold words offend an ancient sea monster, he's cursed and turned into… a parrot. Stranded and squawking, Edrick is rescued by the raucous, ridiculous crew of the Rusty Squid, a pirate ship run by lovable misfits with more spirit than sense.

As Edrick searches for a way to break the curse, he’ll learn that bravery isn’t about bluster—it’s about loyalty, listening, and letting go of pride.

Hilarious, heartfelt, and full of unexpected twists, Crackpot Pirates is a chapter book series for ages 7–10 that proves even the silliest sailors can sail into greatness.
