Plot Summary: This book tells the story of the two most famous female pirates--Anne Bonney and Mary Reade. Sailing on the ship Vanity, the two women protest when their captain does nothing when the ship is attacked. After the ship is captured by the military, they escape hanging...unlike their unfortunate shipmates.
Red Flag/s: Thievin' and plunderin'. Also, hangings.
My Rating: A-. I'll admit I read this book for the illustrations, which are fantastic. The text is good too, but in this case picture trump words.
