    I really liked they way you embraced the Pirate theme - in costume and voice and it complemented a beautifully presented blog (I really liked the background image you chose). The idea of promoting these stories to 'reluctant' readers was good. I liked the range of titles (including the classic Treasure Island by RL Stevenson). The promotion of 'Pirate day' with its humourous elements was excellent. Activity craft tie-ins like 'how to make a pirate map' etc were useful promotional ideas. Well done!!
