Mystery at Blackbeard's Cove: by Audrey Penn

[ScurvyCory]

Arg! Has any other scallywag read this book? " Mystery at Blackbeard's Cove". If ye haven't ye better! It's a pirate-booty book. Also, at the end of every chapter, is a piratey poem.
I'll share some of the poems with ye scurvy dogs!





A pirate's word was what she gave,
Its value worth its weight.
A story by a crackling fire
Was worth a piece of eight.
When silently the sun does rise,
What secrets will impart?
A lady's word upon her death
Is gifted from her heart.







Those of greed and devilish ways,
Have justly gone to watery graves.
Their future lies beneath the earth,
Lost for good and lacking mirth.
It's those with wind to fill their sails,
Who seek and old maid's pirate tales,
That soar like gulls above the sea
And carry always Blackbeard's key.



Post your thoughts about this book. And other poems in it!

I read this a few years ago. It was ok. I didn't like the parts where all the kids were stuck in the cave and one of them...ah... needed to use the facilities. The book was good at making you feel like you were there.... but I left it feeling like ash, smoke and sea water instead of a feeling of adventure and Capn-Jackisms like POTC leaves you with.

Yea, it was a good book. But not excellent. But still really good.
