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

An amusing book and educational too.
I raided my nana's books for this one to send to the winner of the Pirate Themed Sweepstake. Then I decided to read it first. It only took an hour. Interesting story.

Now the book sets sail again, ready for new adventures!
Thanks so much for this, bluezwuzl. This looks like much fun and I love Chris Riddell's illustrations so much!
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...
