Book: Sea Queens: Women Pirates Around the World by Jane Yolen
Age-range: 5 and up
Recommended: Yes
This interesting and succinct book is beautifully illustrated with information on famous female pirates. Jane Yolen only chose the ones about who the most is known. In every country and time-period where pirating was prevalent there have been female pirates. I've never cared much for books about pirates, but this was so intriguing, I had to read it. You know me, I'm a sucker for strong women in books.
Even though it's about women I think this would still be a good book for a boy. If the kid in your life (or an adult) likes pirates then this book is an excellent quick read.
