    About this ebook

    An army of cats joins a crew of marooned pirates to save you from explosions and stop Up from becoming Down. But before the cats, before the pirates, you are standing outside the metro in rush-hour Tokyo when the building across the street from you explodes. Seconds later, you're yanked off your feet by a salaryman who plans to use you to change the directions themselves.

      You and the Pirates draws you in from the very first page. As a reader I felt as though I was right there next to the main character the entire book. It was almost as if being in a dream. The main premise of the book was fantastic! The unexpectedness of the whole thing is what really drew me in. I couldnt' stop reading it. Thank you for the opportunity!!
