Peter and the Starcatchers is one of the best books I've ever read. Peter and his friends have many fun and exciting adventures. Black Stache (captain of the Sea Devil) is trying to steal treasure from the Wasp (another ship), but the treasure is really aboard the Never Land, the ship Peter and his friends are on. If you are looking for a great chapter book to read, check out Peter and the Starcatchers, by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson!

The Danny books by Mia Coulton. I think they're funny. They help me learn to read. Bee and Danny do safety rules and have adventures. What I think is funny about them is there is a real dog that wears costumes in the pictures!
