Summary
Pirate Diary : The Journal of Jake Carpenter
Adventure! History! Pirate Diary reveals life on the high seas in the eighteenth century--through the eyes of a nine-year-old boy. Learn what life was really like on a pirate ship in 1716 as you read PIRATE DIARY, nine-year-old Jake Carpenter's journal of adventure on the high seas. Discover through Jake's own words the thrills and perils of a seafar-ing life as he explores the good ship Greyhound, meets fearsome Captain Nick, and becomes a carpenter's apprentice. But the real excitement begins when pirates capture the ship--and Jake finds himself embarking on a new life on the wrong side of the law. From "mermaids" to monsterlike whales, terrible storms to dead calms, maroonings to pirate raids, Jake's diary records everything a reader could want to know about life under the pirate code. Historically accurate illustrations of the ship and crew, a map of Jake's travels, and a detailed glossary and index vividly reveal the fascinating--and harsh--life of a pirate in the eighteenth century.
