About the Author:
Neil Morris is an established and successful children's author.
From Booklist:
Children’s fascination with pirates has intensified in recent years; those who encounter this entry in the Amazing History series will be better equipped to distinguish between the truths and the legends surrounding these robbers at sea. Morris explains the differences among pirates, corsairs, and privateers (the latter were legally hired to attack ships); describes the assortment of vessels they sailed and the weapons and gear they used; highlights several infamous pirates; and provides an overview of modern, high-tech piracy. Each double-page spread constitutes its own chapter, with headings such as “Women Pirates” and “Pirate Punishments.” Brief sections of text; extensive, mostly full-color, captioned artwork; and frequent chatty sidebars make for an attractive layout that won’t overwhelm young readers. Concluding with a glossary and a list of Web resources, this engaging treatment is a good choice for browsing, as well as for history units. Grades 4-6. --Kay Weisman
