Great ficticious pirate adventure for young readers
My daughter loves this story, which I had as a child back in the 70's. A short, easy-to-read pirate adventure with the main character being Will, who gets on board a pirate vessel be accident. The ship's captain, a female pirate, is locked in a deadly rivalry with another pirate captain and this leads eventually to the New World for Will (which is what he wanted in the first place). Great action and suspens for young readers.
High Interest Reading for Teen With Limited Literacy Skills
From the back of the Pacesetters edition -
The Greatest Pirate Treasure In History
Gold bars, gold bricks, gold coins. Jewels by the millions, of every kind and color. Great chests full of them, piled high. It was all there on Oak Island, the treasure of the pirate ship Revenge. It was a treasure that men would kill for - and die for. But only one person knew how to get it - the captain of the Revenge, Captain Kate.
The Pacesetters series is high interest reading for those who have literacy problems, or who just have a reluctance to read. The reading level for these books is between 2 and 3. Many of these books are mentioned in reference material concerning High/Low materials.
Desperate, and Hopeful Character
North to Oak Island is about a man named Will. Will is planning on going to America in the 1700's. He has a ship that leaves in the morning and has just enough money to buy a ticket on a ship. Then he is robbed. He loses all the money he has saved for many years. There is another ship leaving, but it only takes it's crew. He hides and then shows himself when they are well out in the ocean. The crew wants him to walk the plank but the captain has another idea for him, by the way this is a pirate ship. I like the suspense in this book, it has alot of twists. I thought it was well written and had a great plot. This is also why i gave it 5 stars.
