Summary
Nova Scotia, 1952. Captain Johnson's boat is blown into port by a storm, so he stays at the inn run by Jim and his mother. The captain's background is mysterious, and his storytelling abilities are amazing - he knows all… about the lives and battles of the old-time pirates. But how can he possibly know so much about how it feels to grow up among the Vikings; about how Francis Drake and Queen Elizabeth plotted their victories; or about the loves of Grace O'Malley, the pirate queen of Ireland? Grades 4-7. 2006 GG winner. Some strong language. 2007, c2006.
