In this delightful children's book about Mack and Fred the Pirates, Mack's wife Tia is a beautician and she's determined to make Mack look his best as captain of his pirate ship. Mack is determined not to let Tia do that and he vows that "Pirates Don't Do Perms." But Mack loves Tia, and misunderstanding her Spanish one afternoon, he agrees to meet her at the salon. Mack thinks he's getting a steak (filete) when he's getting a permanente (perm). After much grumbling, Mack and first mate Fred find there's a good side to getting a perm! This fun adventure could be set in St. Augustine Florida, home to pirates, pirate ships, and plenty of history, New Orleans, Louisiana, or anywhere that pirates have a place in the history of that locale.
