This is the story of a young boy's advenures at sea. He went to sea with his uncle and they were soon kidnapped by pirates. Jake's uncle was put to sea in a small boat and left to die after he was flogged when he took Jakes place to prevent Jake from receiving this horrible form of punishment. In order to survive Jake was forced to join the pirates, The book gave a full account of a pirates daily activities with many wonderful iillustrations that included the detailed parts of the ship. If you have a young child who is fascinated by pirates, this is the book to give as a gift. It is a treasure.I believe it would have a special appeal for fourth and fifth grade children.

I purchased this book for my eight year old little girl and I highly recommend this product. The book is very well done with lively illustrations and a good story line which will captivate children's attention and provide a quick overview of the historical period.
