A peek inside

How the adventure unfolds

These are just sample lines. Your book is written fresh for your child - their name woven through every page, with the words, sentence length and tone tuned to their age, and shaped by the story, interests and details you choose.

Chapter One

Set Sail

Your child raised the flag as the ship slipped out to the open sea, a clever parrot perched on the wheel.

The Map

X marked the spot, and your child rowed toward a misty, palm-covered island.

Chapter Three

Real Treasure

The chest was full of gold, but your child knew the real treasure was the whole grand adventure.

These three sample the opening, middle and ending of a 12-chapter book. All twelve are drawn with your child in them when the book is made: the cover and chapter one free in your preview, the remaining eleven once you order.

Is this the one?

Who Pirate Adventure is for

Pirate Adventure works on the child who wants to be in charge of something. Your child is the captain from the first line, with a parrot who answers back and a crew who take instructions. It has been the reliable choice for fifth and sixth birthdays, and it is one of the two or three that most often gets a reluctant reader to the end of a chapter unaided.

Four to eight. The map in the middle chapter is the hinge: younger children follow it as a picture, older ones work it out a beat before the story explains it, which is a good feeling to hand a child. Reading level is chosen at setup and sets how much of the nautical vocabulary survives.

For Theo, first mate to nobody, captain of everything, including the bath.

Common questions

What age is Pirate Adventure for?

Pirate Adventure is written for ages 4-8. The story is generated at the reading level you pick during setup, so the same book works at the younger or older end of that range.

How is Pirate Adventure personalized?

You upload one photo of your child. That photo becomes the illustrated hero - same face shape, hair and skin tone - and stays recognizable across all 12 chapters. Their name, age and a dedication are woven in too.

How long is the book, and what formats are there?

Twelve illustrated chapters, one full-page illustration per chapter. Digital is $14.90, softcover $38.90 and hardcover $42.90 plus shipping; the hardcover is a 8x8 inch matt-laminated keepsake.

Can I see it before I pay?

Yes. The cover and the whole first chapter - artwork included - are generated free. You only pay if you want the remaining eleven chapters.
