Blackbeard's Treasure
Autor Iszi Lawrence Ilustrat de Elisa Paganellien Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 ian 2023
A riveting pirate tale set in the eighteenth century during the golden age of piracy in the Caribbean, perfect for fans of Emma Carroll and Jacqueline Wilson.
It's 1718: pirate ships sail the oceans and brutal slave masters control the plantations.
Eleven-year-old Abigail Buckler lives with her father in the Caribbean. Her clothes are made of finest muslin so she can't play in them, not that there's anyone to play with anyway. She isn't even allowed to go out alone. But when pirates attack Abigail's life will change forever. Suddenly her old certainties about right and wrong, good and bad start to unravel.
Maybe Abigail doesn't have to be so ladylike after all.
Packed with historical detail about the Atlantic slave trade, the ravages of empire and human cost of providing luxuries like sugar, cotton and tobacco to Europe, Blackbeard's Treasure is a page-turning, swashbuckling adventure which takes a look at the real pirates of the Caribbean.

Recenzii
This is children's fiction at its best ... Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson.
Your 8-12 year olds need to get their hands on this swashbuckling adventure by the brilliant Iszi Lawrence.
You've rarely met a heroine as fearless, brilliant and passionate as 11-year-old Abigail. This action-packed tale introduces real pirates and tackles important topics. Think of Pirates of the Caribbean only grounded in real historical detail. A treasure trove indeed!
... a fun, swashbuckling adventure, full of historical figures brought to life [....] It is a book that adds to a little-known bit of history and it is a fascinating adventure story that I can see will be enjoyed by all.
In 1718, Abigail leaves her life as a plantation owner's daughter in the Caribbean alongside her father's slave Boubacar, her secret best friend. They board a pirate ship run by maroons, escaped slaves, under Captain Black Caesar. Abigail and Boubacar learn to swim, climb ropes and avoid disgusting smells, as they sail off in search of the infamous pirate Blackbeard... Abigail's natural sense of justice quickly becomes conflicted as she sees how the morality of this pirate world mirrors the contradictory values of white, mercantile culture.
The story is rich in details throughout.
PRAISE FOR THE UNSTOPPABLE LETTY PEGG
Letty and her friends and rivals are great characters, as are the real life people she comes across at different times in her adventures. Thoroughly recommended.
PRAISE FOR BILLIE SWIFT TAKES FLIGHT
It is brimming with historical detail and really highlights the heroic nature of some very inspirational women. It would be an excellent class story that would provide children with a tale about a thrilling war-time adventure
