Reviews

"Spires' tale of an unconventional pirate might travel familiar ground, but her dry humor, so wonderfully displayed in the Binky graphic novels, elevates Saul to great heights. The cartoon watercolor illustrations are always hilariously at odds with the understated text. Charrrh-ming."

Kirkus Reviews, 15/02/2011

"... Spires' piratical misfit fulfills his potential in a way that is genuinely endearing and hilarious."

Quill & Quire, 30/04/2011

"... delightful book."

The Globe & Mail, 02/04/2011

"... there's plenty of raucous entertainment to keep pirate-lovers happy."

Publishers Weekly, 09/05/2011
