A chapter book by Jack Trevithick COMING
The Nippers crew the old gig for the Three Coves Regatta, coached by Sam Laity. Last place has never been so glorious — and next year, they'll have the Chough.
In The Regatta Rascals, the Three Coves Regatta brings a bright stir to Polperran’s harbour, and the Nippers find themselves crewing the old gig under the watchful eye of Sam Laity. Salt air, creaking oars and village expectation give the story its happy bustle, while the crew’s determination turns a race into something bigger than coming first.
Children ready for chapter books will enjoy the lively pace, the sea-spray rhythm of the rowing scenes and the gentle comedy of a crew learning together. The peril stays just right for ages seven to nine: exciting enough to make pages turn, reassuring enough for bedtime. There’s plenty here for newly confident readers, and for families who still love sharing a chapter aloud.
As part of Jack Trevithick’s Polperran Adventures, The Regatta Rascals lets young readers spend more time with the village as it gathers round one of its great seaside occasions. It fits Little Chough Press’s idea that readers grow up alongside Polperran, with familiar harbour life, community pride and the continuing thread of the gig helping stitch the series together.
