Adopted brothers Dribble the snail and Dash the firefly are back - this time facing a legendary slug pirate and his cursed booty! Third in the hilarious, highly illustrated black-and-white series for readers aged 6+ by David O'Connell.
Dribble has a new invention: a Bubbler (made from superpowered midge farts), perfect for making fizzy drinks. Cool Nat promises to trial the invention in Grottibottigan's Juice Bar if the bros fetch him some seaweed from Bogbrush-on-Sea...
But the treacherous pirate Captain Slugbeard is rumoured to have buried his treasure on the very beach they're going to. And he's placed a terrible curse of bad luck upon anyone who tries to nab his loot.
At their hotel, the bros run into the naughty Dung Heap Gang, who are keen to sniff out the treasure. With the help of Dribble's latest invention, can Dribble and Dash beat the beetles and escape the curse. or will they fall into the clutches of pirates? And will Prudence the prawn - creepie crawlie of the sea - and Big Steve the sardine prove to be friends or foes?
