Do you want to take a sea voyage on a sailing brig? See the pirate republic on the island of New Providence? Try beans with salt beef and hardtack? Climb to the very top of the mainmast? Learn how to read maps? Jake Carpenter will tell you everything a cabin boy, a future captain, needs to know and be able to do! The world of sailors and pirates has been brought to life by the remarkable artist Chris Riddell. His detailed illustrations will transport 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 Greenaway Medal, which is awarded to the best children's book illustrators. "Pirate Diary" kicks off the "Historical Diaries" series. The next books in the series are "Knight's Diary," "Egyptian Diary," and "Roman Diary." The cabin boy himself tells the story of his life in the format of diary entries. Extraordinary adventures and new discoveries await him. The book concludes with a brief historical excursion into the era, featuring detailed black-and-white drawings. For children of middle school age.
