Summary: Blackbeard's REAL treasure
Comment: This sci-fi novel of two curious teenagers turns into a history lesson with easy transition. When Corky and Toby find themselves warped to nineteenth century England and with new telepathic powers, they cannot help but question what has happened to them. They become privy to Edward Teach (a.k.a Blackbeard the pirate) adventures as he moves from a stowaway on board a privateer's vessel to the captain of his own pirate ship.
Kids will love the pirate battles and booty, and adults will love the history lesson. This is a pretty easy read, although its slang is a little dated (originally written in the mid-60s?). The book is pretty short at appx. 139 pages. It does offer up some difficult vocabulary (even for a college student), though not a lot. Encourage your reader to read along with a dictionary and expand their vocab.
Maps and sources are cited. Great for the classroom or the house! Enjoy!
