From England to the Caribbean to the Carolina Coast, Edward Teach forged a blazing career as the most dreaded pirate of all time. North Carolina’s infamous adopted son was a daring blend of terror and gallantry. To his victims, he presented an image of the devil incarnate; but he was putty in the hands of a beautiful woman. His high seas adventures, port city romances and deep buried treasure are the stuff of legend.

Danger and adventure were simply not proper ambitions for the girls at Miss Peavey’s Academy for Polite Young Women . But ambitions change when Maddie and her friends find the journal of the infamous pirate, Redbeard. Filled with the spirit of adventure, they hold secret meetings on “pirate-ness.” Will Redbeard and his menacing crew return to claim his journal…and his revenge? Appropriate for ages 4 and up.
