The Captain Jack Sparrow Handbook

Gr 6—9—Within this handy illustrated volume, everyone's favorite pirate, the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow, offers a treasure trove of tips about the seafaring, swashbuckling lifestyle. Would-be buccaneers will learn to establish a pirate identity, recruit a crew, sail a ship, and acquire—and stash—plenty of booty. Advanced lessons include what to do when marooned and how to survive an encounter with any of the mythical—and often dangerous—creatures that roam the briny depths. Factual accounts of real pirates are added to the mix. Readers will also learn about the different types of pirates and how to distinguish them. An appendix provides a glossary of essential lingo. Full-color photographs from the four Disney films are included. Although geared primarily toward those who have seen the movies, this book will likely find a home with pirate fans everywhere.—Alissa J. LeMerise, Oxford Public Library, MI
