Ragtag Tumble is a concept for an illustrated chapter book aimed at children aged 7 to 9. 

​

The funny story of a Scottish 18th century pirate Captain called Firtha the Forth, and her crew of female runaways, learning the pirate life on their quest for a place in a world run by men.  From chicken mutinies to sneaking a place in the annual pirate games armed with nothing but a sack full of pudding and a fox in a hang glider, the Ragtags fight their way across the seven seas and learn some valuable life lessons along the way.

​

Ragtag tumble is a funny, feminist and morally interesting story to inspire early readers.
