Well, this book was definately a very good pirate/privateer book. The author apparently had a pirate lingo dictionary on hand while writing the book because there were so many words that were unfamiliar to me, a common landlubber I suppose, that it rather took away from the book, rather than adding to it. I mean, I even looked up many words so I knew some of them, but with all the parts of the ship and such, it got confusing. Guys will most likely love this book. There is adventure, there is fighting and swashbuckling, there is treasure, and there is promotion for the main character Jamie. Girls may not like this book as much, I know I didn't find it awesome, because it is based on plot and what is happening rather than on the characters and their part in it. Though there are two very fun and strong female influences found in Princess Amelia, whom I adored, and Mrs. Llewellen, who can shoot a musket apart while it is in a pirate's hand a fair distance away. I liked the characters, and what a motley crew they were. Overall, the book wasn't bad, very informative on sea life a privateering, but not engrossing enough to get me to read it over again.

Dragon's Plunder is great for all sorts of ages who love great books of fantasy, magic, pirates, and dragons. I've read Dragon's Plunder every year ever since two years ago, because it's so great. I'm very disappointed that it's not here. I hope Amazon.Com can find it again!
