Matilda is way too curious. As she tries to take a look inside the pirates’ ship, she sets it loosep, and the Black Hole goes all the way down the street… until it crashes into the school! To make matters worse, Grandpa is still inside, and he is furious. He starts bombing the town with his cannons, and makes it impossible for anyone, even Jim, to come close! For Mrs. Bevan, it’s the last straw. This time, she is going to have the pirates evicted from town! Jim gathers Matilda, Max and Alexia to board the ship and stop the old man before he has everything destroyed; but it’s not going to be easy, facing an enraged Grandpa with a bunch of mismatched freshwater pirates!
