The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers

A little bluebear is lost in the Zamonian Ocean, until he is rescued by some mini pirates from a giant wave. Unfortunately, the baby bluebear eventually grows so big that he is in danger of sinking the ship. So the mini pirates abandon him on an island. Now this bluebear must find his true home. There were plenty of exciting times when the bluebear became crowned "the King of Lies" and other times when he was in peril danger. I recommend this book to 6-9th graders who like a fictional, long story with plenty of twists and turns.
