He makes the best of a bad situation using gelato, a Pegasus named Cupcake-McSparkletail, and a princess who doesn't need a knight #bluepit📖 #Q #PB 0123

Will they ever be able to get on the same page? For a hilarious meta mashup, WELCOME TO GHOSTVILLE…or is it Goatsville? #Bluepit📖 #PB #Q 1104

Now he’s teaching his salty crew to rock, but the grumpy captain isn’t having it…or is he? BAND OF PIRATES is a swashbuckling tale of tunes and teamwork #bluepit📖 #PB #Q 084
