Pirates of Tahiti cover.png

Alan Horsfield's new junior novel

November 16, 2019

Congrats to Alan Horsfield on the publication of

Pirates of Tahiti

Cover illustration by Nancy Bevington

Published by EJH Talent Promotion, in paperback

For ages 9 - 12.

Before boarding the Sea Breeze for a leisurely Tahitian cruise, Hawkins is suddenly transported into an era when pirates plundered the west coast towns of South America and took refuge in Tahiti. Is Hawkins trapped in a strange time warp?

This story was inspired by a real event.

Sounds thrilling - congrats again Alan!
