There are so many pirate books around, we don’t know where to start! This one does not have any jewels on the cover, but it has good true stories of pirates and buccaneers from lots of different times and places. Follow the adventures of Sir Frances Drake, Henry Morgan, Captain Kidd, Blackbeard, Mary Read, Anne Bonny, and the pirates of the Barbary Coast, and learn more about their times and why they did what they did.There are also helpful pictures of ships and weapons and all sorts of other things that you’ve heard of but aren’t sure what they really are, like bandoliers, which will be handy to know when you run off to be a pirate. Aaarrr!
