Description

The fifth book about Jake Cake and his EXTRAORDINARY adventures. Here are three more hilarious stories, written in Jake Cake's own notebooks and embellished with his very funny comments and illustrations. It's not Jake's fault that he gets cursed by the ghost of Old Crusty, the fierce pirate (get those decks swabbed!), meets an alien pretending to be his granny and rubs up against a really mean genie!
