Pirate's Passage by William Gilkerson
William Gilkerson counterpoints a coming of age story with fascinating, historical tales of real pirates. Starting with Drake in the sixteenth century and wending his way through the centuries until he arrives at the demise of Blackbeard in the nineteenth century, Gilkerson posits the theory that there has hardly been any difference between governments and the brotherhood of pirates, a thesis that is not very popular with Jim’s teacher. Although there are moments of action and mystery (the Captain is a mysterious character who never divulges much of himself) I would not recommend this book to reluctant readers. But to avid readers between the ages of 10-12 who love pirates I would not hesitate.
This summary is way more interesting then the book. This book has a good
story line and plot but did not cacth my eye in any way and I am in the age
group that it is ment for. Thought it is agood book for bboys rather then
girls.

i agree! this book isn't that good. it's so boring! i was forced to read it
and have to do a book report on it. its so lame.
I read this book as part of the Red Maple club and I thought the first half
as alright... even the part that's supposed to be exciting where they steal
the canon is quite... unsuspenceful. I think this book is more of like an
"information" book instead of leisure reading.
I like this book and all you losers who say they don't like it...well your
just wrong aren't ye. this book was good craic to read nd it was wile
exciting. so don't dis the book..unes just have no taste!
Interesting discussion! If we could stick to the things we like about the
book/don't like the book, instead of dissing one another's opinions, that
would be appreciated :) It's fine to say that you loved it - or hated it! -
as long as you can say WHY.
