Adventure on the high seas with the wackiest band of pirates around! Nobody believes Monkey D. Luffy when he says he's going to be King of the Pirates. For starters, he doesn't even have a boat. Or a crew! And his first choice for a crewmember is Rorona Zolo, a pirate hunter and a prisoner in the hands of the navy. Even if Luffy can make it onto the navy base and past the guards, he'll still be face-to-face with Zolo-the most famous pirate hunter in history. Is Luffy as foolish as everyone thinks?

Book Description

“This delightful book” for young readers “is full of creative activities, interspersed with plenty of fascinating historical facts” (School Library Journal). On this here ship, we follow the pirate's code: No frolikin' in the bilges, no songs about scurvy, and most important, each buccaneer must keep his pistol ready for action at all times. Break the code, me bucko, and you'll be forced to walk the plank. In The Big Book of Pirate Stuff, Captain Michael MacLeod and Jamaica Rose teach the fine art of pirateering, from plundering, pillaging, and gambling to digging for buried treasure. A dabble of history, a smatterin' of activities, and a healthy dose of derring-do make this book a must-read for aspiring pirates.
