«Quattro pirati e mezzo» is Margaret Mahy's children's adventure novel, published by Mondadori in paperback (217 pages, in Italian).
Four waiters who run a ship's restaurant, tired of routine, decide to become pirates. They travel across a thousand islands and have zany adventures in a mystery plot built like a puzzle: the pieces fit together only in the ending.
It was originally published under the title «The Pirates' Mixed-up Voyage» (1988); this Italian edition is part of the «Miti junior» collection (no. 12).
Recommended for child and young readers who enjoy pirate stories, humor and mystery.
