"Davy the pirate knows he's going to be in a lot of trouble when he drops a cannonball that makes a hole in the ship. For that reason, he doesn't tell anyone, until it's almost too late. Luckily, Davy's eventual honesty about the hole saves the ship. This exciting story of life at sea is expertly illustrated to give readers a strong connection to the text. Readers will learn about the virtue of honesty, and how owning up to something you've done is always better than hiding it."--Publisher's description.
