Book description
The twenty-third of September, 1716. I write this on my last day at home. Tomorrow I am to join my Uncle Will aboard his ship and become A SAILOR. Will has told me of sea monsters and mermaids and has sailed through a hurricane. Maybe I shall see these things FOR MYSELF! Nine-year-old Jake Carpenter does indeed see all this – and more, when his ship, the Greyhound, is captured by pirates and he discovers the thrills and perils of life at sea as he embarks on an exciting new life on the wrong side of the law.

This book will be going to the winner of The Pirate Sweepstakes Round 1

How very exciting - could I really the winner of this round?? This lovely book arrived days ago (unfortunately just as my phone broke down...), along with very piratey balloons, which will come in handy during the carnival season...
Wow, the book seems to be a veteran of the pirate sweeps
and I'm looking forward to reading it! Thanks very much for this wonderful surprise!

Thanks so much for this, bluezwuzl. This looks like much fun and I love Chris Riddell's illustrations so much!

Journal Entry 16 by wingMary-Twing at Bretzfeld, Baden-Württemberg Germany on Thursday, April 27, 2023
This was a fast and entertaining read. I enjoyed as well the illustrations.
Plus, there were some facts connected I didn't know about. And I specially liked the end part for general facts around piracy.

Jake may stay with us for a start...
