When I bought this I thought it was a historical novel. Instead it is a dry re-telling of history as fact. Boring and difficult to read - not recommended at all for children who are into Pirates. I'm glad I started to read it before giving it to my pirate-obsessed niece & nephew as I had intended. Almost 400 pages - I stopped reading after the first 100.
