Description

What do you do when your cool new friends pressure you to do things that are dangerous--or illegal? When you've told so many lies that people don't believe you anymore? When your borrowing becomes stealing?
Martin Meets the Pirates and Other Stories shows young people who are faced with challenging dilemmas and who respond with spirit and ingenuity. These stories offer delightful evidence of youthful creativity and resourcefulness in the face of hard questions.
Based on the ground breaking Kids of Degrassi Street television program, this book offers a sensitive and engaging look at the challenges of childhood.
