Tina's?Picks for The Best of .....Piratey Reads!
Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson
Published 1881
The Best Pirate Adventure!
The adventure in this story was priceless, while classics tend to be over descriptive, boring {gasp!} and long-winded, Treasure Island truly does its best to avoid boring?scenarios. I had to read this with my daughter a few years back and seriously I think I had more fun reading it to her in my best piratey voice than the actual story itself. This is a great family read and fun adventure into the world of the sea.
The Dust of 100 Dogs by A.S King
Feb 2009 by Flux
The Funniest Pirate Themed Book
Yes, I know this story is about a girl who lives a 100 lives as a dog, ALAS- she is a pirate herself. I loved this because it was laugh out loud funny and featured a kick-butt girl to boot. Now this is more a mature teen/ adult read so I?wouldn't?be sharing Emer's story with the?youngish, but for a few hours of hilarious and somewhat?risqu??moments I would?recommended?it.
Bloody Jack by L.A Meyer
2002 by Houghton Mifflin?
The Best Teen Pirate Series
Hands down this was awesome! I loved Jacky Faber and her snarky, brave and impressive personality she brought to the page. Meyer offers swashbuckling adventure with the talent of making the story relatable to teenagers and adults alike.?
Random Magic by Sasha Soren
2010 by Beach Books, LLC
The best feel-good Pirates!
Random Magic- the goodness that makes this tour possible makes my list for pirates with heart. Not that Sasha's pirates were all warm and fuzzy but they were seriously funny. My favorite aspect to Random Magic was in fact the few pirate scenes in the novel. I loved that friendship came out the strongest for the main characters in their interactions on deck, it left a lasting impression in the many quirky aspects this book had to offer!
Under the Black Flag by David Cordingly
1997 by Harvest Books
The Best Information on Pirates
Ok so my?opinion?is a bit biased seeing how this is the only nonfiction pirate book Ive looked at but it was interesting at times. The book is a very dry read ( most nonfiction is) however I learned alot about differences in?Caribbean?and Mediterranean pirates. So for you hardcore Pirate fans, this is a great resource on everything pirate!
