What Members Thought

I can't believe I never read this as a child! A very fun little adventure, even for an adult.

I'm going to be in Bermuda next week and thought that I needed to brush-up on what happens if you happen to find yourself on an island populated by pirates. Great read.

I read this on a train on a European vacation and it was perfect! Gripping page-turner with fantastic characters. Immediately fell in love with a good old-fashioned adventure story and understand why pirates remain such a vital part of our current fantastical culture.
