Buccaneers' Code

By Caroline Carlson | Publisher: HarperCollins

About the book

Humor, magic, and adventure abound in the third—and final—book of Caroline Carlson’s tween fantasy series, The Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates.

Hilary Westfield is now a freelance pirate. After trying to prove herself to the VNHLP, she realized many members of the league weren’t all that honorable—not even very nearly. With Captain Blacktooth in cahoots with the Mutineers, the kingdom of Augusta—and all of its magic—is at risk.

What the League needs is a very honorable pirate to be their new president. So Hilary—with the help of her friends, including the always-spirited gargoyle—challenges Blacktooth to a High Seas battle. Winner takes all. Loser, at best, will be exiled.

Caroline Carlson has created a world where magic is currency, pirates are more charming than alarming, and a girl can choose a life as a pirate instead of a life in petticoats. And she once again delivers a story of high stakes, high seas, and high society in the hilarious and charming conclusion to the Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates series.


What does it take for one girl to lead a band of scallywags and save a kingdom?


  • Girl Pirate: Hilary Westfield would rather wield a cutlass than wear a petticoat, but to save Augusta, she’ll have to become more than a pirate—she’ll have to become a leader.
  • Talking Gargoyle: With her loyal, spirited, and occasionally-distracting gargoyle sidekick, Hilary is ready for any challenge the high seas can throw at them.
  • Unlikely Heroes: To challenge the dishonorable Captain Blacktooth, Hilary must recruit a crew of her own—even if her only volunteers are her prim and proper finishing-school classmates!
  • Magical Adventure: In a world where magic is currency and danger lurks around every corner, this fast-paced story is packed with magical mayhem and hilarious hijinks.
  • Complete Series: Don’t miss the swashbuckling conclusion to the Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates, a beloved middle grade series perfect for readers 8-12.
