Synopsis: Brothers want to see a new pirate film, but they don't have enough money. Will their plan to get the money work out?
Excerpt:
Being an honest kid, the next day I divulged the whole thing to Mom and Dad, while naturally Jared never told them about what happened that night on the Gannet--he, unlike John and I, really had fun on our pirate adventure. John and I were punished for starting the trouble, and we never did get to go to the cinema that month. One night while we were grounded, Mom and Dad took Jared to the cinema and told him he could pick any film to watch. He picked the new Adventures of Captain Red Beard film, of course.
