The astounding educators of the Breakwater School are leading their students to piracy! With Scott Nash’s chapter book, The High-Skies Adventures of Blue Jay the Pirate (Candlewick Press) as their piratical press gang, students will be performing a “flash mob” performance of a chapter from the swashbuckling tale.
