Overview:
Three sparkling adventures from a beloved children’s storyteller, this Eoin Colfer Collection brings together wit, mischief, and just the right dash of spooky fun.

Books Included in This Collection:
The Legend of the Worst Boy in the World
Will is desperate to win the Giant Jelly Baby competition and be named the best boy in the world. Yet his big brother Marty seems to steal every moment of glory. As Will hatches a plan to outdo his rival, the page-turning humor and mild mischief keep readers cheering for the underdog. With its brisk pace and accessible language, this tale invites independent readers to root for Will while learning that pride can be tempered by friendship and perseverance.

The Legend of Captain Crow's Teeth
Marty’s love of a good prank spills into a bloodcurdling legend about Captain Crow, a pirate whose tale Will is certain is a joke—until the ghostly hints feel all too real. The book blends light suspense with playful storytelling as Will grapples with fear, imagination, and trust in his brother. Fans of spooky-but-not-scary adventures will relish the balance of laughter and chills, and the twist that reminds readers that legends are sometimes born from a child’s bravest moment.
