Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Pirate Diaryis a fantastic adventure-come-factual book about piracy, and tells the story of young Jake as he takes to the high seas on a pirate ship. Through his diary, children get up close and personal to pirates--good and bad--in a high-flying tale that leaves no stones unturned yet manages to educate while becoming increasingly, breathtakingly exciting.
Chris Riddell and Richard Platt were celebrated for their award-winning Castle Diary: this superb book, ideal for even the most reluctant readers, continues their success and deserves every accolade it can get. Children will love, teachers will love it, and parents will enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with having a child absorbed in a jolly good book. (Ages 7 and over.) --Susan Harrison --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I just finished reading this book with my 7 year old son, and am really impressed.
The story, set in the 18th century, is told by the diary entries of a boy on his first journey at sea.
The book is jam packed with information about the hard, and often gruesome life of a sailor on this merchant, soon to be pirate ship. If you ever need to know how to load a cannon, where to store your gunpowder or how to amputate a leg, then this is the book for you.
The fiction and the fact are combined in such a clever way that the your child will hardly notice (s)he's learning...it didn't do me any harm either!
I'm off to buy Castle Diary now...

I ordered enough copies of this product for use in four junior school classes. The children love the book as it is well written and informative. The theme of our work across the curriculum is Seafarers and Explorers and the children have learnt a huge amount from this book.

The US edition is 128 pages long. This one is 64. Are we getting an abridgement here? I dunno.
