Do you want to make a sea voyage on a sailing brig?
See a pirate republic on the island of New Providence?
Try corned beans and ship biscuits?
Climb to the very top of the mainmast? Learn to read maps?
Jake Carpenter will tell you about everything that a cabin boy, a future captain, should know and be able to do!
The world of sailors and pirates was brought to life by the wonderful artist Chris Riddell. His detailed illustrations will take the reader to the brig "Hound" and show the life of sailors in every detail. For the book "Pirate Diary" the artist received the Kate Greenway Medal, which is awarded to the best illustrators of children's books.
"Pirate Diary" opens the "Historical Diaries" series. The next books in the series are "Knight's Diary", "Egyptian Diary" and "Roman Diary".
The cabin boy himself talks about his life in the format of diary entries. Unusual adventures and new discoveries await him. And the book ends with a short historical digression into the era - with detailed black and white drawings.
For children of middle school age.
