My reviews of recent pirate books are up at Pirates and Privateers:

Pirates Magnified by David Long and illustrated by Harry Bloom

Learn about pirates while using a magnifying glass to spot ten objects on each page.

Best Pirate by Kari-Lynn Winters and illustrated by Dean Griffiths

When Augusta Garrick damages her father's treasure map and hurts another pirate, she decides to find the treasure herself. But she's not the only one seeking it, and cats don't get along with dogs.

The Bloody Black Flag by Steve Goble

When his best friend is slain, Spider John Rush is determined to find the killer. Just one problem -- he has a ship full of suspects since they're all pirates. A theft aboard ship, a mysterious shadow vessel, and and a short deadline make the job even tougher.

The Ballade of Mary Reede by N. C. Schell

Nearly thirty years after Captain Charles Johnson publishes his pirate history, John Tanner receives a chest that awaken many memories that take him back to his days with Calico Jack Rackham, Anne Bonny, and Mary Reede.

Anne Bonny by Phillip Thomas Tucker

Time and myths have blurred the true identity of Anne Bonny. The author attempts to separate truth from fiction and to show how the world in which she lived influenced who she was and what she did.
