Book Description
Living in poverty the first 12 years of his life, an honest boy named Will finds himself on the adventure of a lifetime--sailing the world on a merchant ship in 1683. Dreaming of seeing a pirate, if even from a distance, Will is a boy on his own, far from family, in a foreign land while working at sea. He soon rethinks his daydreams of pirates once he finds himself among them! Plundering ships, stealing gold, and learning to sword fight were not skills Will had planned on learning, but he will need every advantage he can gain if he is to escape the clutches of the pirate Captain Hamlyn and outrun Black Pete! In this epic adventure of a moral boy trapped in a world driven by greed, he sees the true will of the pirates, leading him to ask the most important question about his life's adventure. Will of the Pirates is the kind of book I wish I'd had as a kid, and I loved it as an adult! For anyone who has ever imagined what it was like to sail and explore during the Golden Age of Piracy, diver/explorer/writer Scott Mitchen has provided us with a look through his historical spyglass. ~Pat Croce, best-selling author, motivational speaker, and serial entrepreneur Pirates, action, adventure, and history - this is a pirate's treasure chest in book format. It glitters with real historical accounts of the 1680's pirate ship La Trompeuse. Will of the Pirates gleams with gems in the positive messages about good triumphing over treachery and greed. I highly recommend Will of the Pirates! ~Candace Ahiers, library media specialist, elementary teacher, parent, grandparent and children's reading advocate

Book Description
Just make sure we've got plenty of hams on board. I didn't really enjoy our last adventure much because we ran out of hams about halfway through. And what's my motto? I like ham! It is 1837, and for the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain and his rag-tag pirate crew, life on the high seas has gotten a little dull. With nothing to do but twiddle their hooks and lounge aimlessly on tropical beaches, the Captain decides it's time they had an adventure. A surprisingly successful boat raid leads them to the young Charles Darwin, in desperate need of their help. And so the pirates set forth for London in a bid to save the scientist from the evil machinations of a diabolical Bishop. There they encounter grisly murder, vanishing ladies, the Elephant Man - and have an exciting trip to the zoo.

Book Description
When two young women meet under extraordinary circumstances in the eighteenth-century West Indies, they are unified in their desire to escape their oppressive lives. The first is a slave, forced to work in a plantation mansion and subjected to terrible cruelty at the hands of the plantation manager. The second is a spirited and rebellious English girl, sent to the West Indies to marry well and combine the wealth of two respectable families. But fate ensures that one night the two young women have to save each other and run away to a life no less dangerous but certainly a lot more free. As pirates, they roam the seas, fight pitched battles against their foes and become embroiled in many a heart-quickening adventure. Written in brilliant and sparkling first-person narrative, this is a wonderful novel in which Celia Rees has brought the past vividly and intimately to life.
