Kathi Walker

Actually being a pirate wasn’t anything like playing pirates.

When Carly’s brother Bobby tells her she can’t play pirates with them, she stomps off to the beach, where she finds a magical cave that will make her drawings come to life. Carly sets off on a pirate adventure, joined by her five stuffed bears who suddenly seem as real as she is. The problem is, Carly doesn’t actually know how to be a pirate. Her search for pirate treasure now involves steering her ship around islands and rescuing her bears from a rival gang of pirates, and 7 year old Carly doesn’t feel up to the task.

Captain Carly is the first book in a new series by Kathi Walker. Written for early readers, this series blends adventure, education, and lots and lots of fun. If you like Magic Tree House, you’ll love Carly’s Cave!

Captain Carly

Carly just wanted to play pirates, but her brother Bobby said that everyone knows girls can't be pirates. Carly stomped off, only to find a magical cave where she sails off on her own pirate adventure. But being a pirate is harder than Carly imagined. She’ll have to figure out how to keep her boat afloat, find the treasure, and defeat a rival gang of pirates, all by herself (and a few of her stuffed bears).

Climbing Carly

After sailing the high seas, Carly decides she wants to do something different, so she uses her magical cave to transport her and her bears to a nice mountain. But it’s not all green meadows, singing birds, and fluffy mountain goats. Carly will have to navigate floods, cliffs, and ice to make it safely home again. Can Carly and her bears protect each other, or will someone get lost along the way?

Undercover Carly

After dodging Bobby and sneaking off to her cave without being seen, Carly decides she would make a great spy! When a local museum is targeted by a thief, Carly and her bears spring into action. But being a spy is harder than it looks, even with cool gadgets and her bears to help her. Can Carly find and capture the art thief, or will she end up being captured herself?

Climbing a mountain should be pretty safe, right?

She’ll be forced to deal with water yet again, this time in the form of flash floods and ice. Carly set off to reach the top of the mountain, but doing so might just prove to be too great of a challenge.

Ancient Egypt: The land of Pharaohs, The Valley of the Kings, and…kidnapped kitty cats, apparently.

Since Bobby liked history and Carly didn’t, going on an adventure to Ancient Egypt seemed like a safe compromise. They have amazing temples and cool statues, so there should be something for everyone. What Bobby and Carly couldn’t have known is that a disgruntled priest had kidnapped the royal cat, and the Pharaoh’s sister would do anything to get her back. Now Bobby and Carly have to decide if the gratitude of royalty is worth the danger to life and limb if they dare to follow the priest into the ultimate forbidden place: The Valley of the Kings.
