This book gives a lot of information about pirates and piracy during the 17th and 18th centuries in the Caribbean. It is given through the lens of someone from modern day being thrown back in time and having to survive.
I read this book in preparation for the homeschool class. While I found it gave a lot of information, I did find the premise of a modern person being stuck back in time a little annoying. Instead of focusing on the pirates' time it would instead give a present-day view of things -- such as when talking about common diseases and how to cure them. Half of the time it talked about the historical issues and then the other half it talked about the diseases in modern times. It was a little confusing. Still, I would recommend this book to anyone wanting more information about pirates.
