Privateer

Angus dreams of being strong and brave and impetuous and free, like the pirate Buccaneer in the stories he tells his younger sister and brother.
But eleven-year-old Angus is just dead tired and not free at all, because when he is not at school he has to take care of Leo and Imogen, his little brother and sister, who make his life a hell of changing diapers and scraping slices of pizza off the wall.
His mother plays the most caring mother in the world on a soap opera, but if only the viewers knew! And Angus' father only comes by to borrow money and to tell him that his best-selling book Pirate Jim is not making much progress, but that he has some fantastic ideas!
