This is a great summer read!” —Michael Connelly A notorious pirate is chased by a disguised agent of the Royal Navy.

Pirate books for children: nonfiction Jean Laffite: The Pirate Who Saved America by Susan Goldman Rubin and Jeff Himmelman Celia Rees expertly combines a story of two women who are struggling to find different kinds of freedom - Minerva freedom to be herself without suffering cruelty and racism, and Nancy a freedom to be herself away from the bindings of society. The friendship and sisterly bond between Nancy and Minerva is everything, and it is the main focal point of the story for me and romantic relationships are completely overshadowed by Nancy's love for Minerva which is fantastic.

Yes there were parts like in any other book that you think wow can we move on, but it's nothing more than a paragraph that I felt like this and not very often. It is juvenile fiction but the story should captivate anyone and doesn't read as simple as most juvenile fiction. AT ANY RATE! All that sounds like an interesting plot and it is an interesting plot.
