The Pirate Captain's Daughter

Eve Bunting

""I always knew my father was a pirate and I always knew I wanted to be one, too." At age fifteen, Catherine's life is about to change. Her mother has just died and Catherine can't stand the thought of being sent to live with her aunt in Boston. She longs for a life of adventure. After she discovers her father's secret life as captain of the pirate ship Reprisal, her only thoughts are to join him on the high seas. Catherine imagines a life of sailing the blue waters of the Caribbean, the wind whipping at her back. She's heard tales of bloodshed and brutality but her father's ship would never be like that. Catherine convinces her father to let her join him, disguised as a boy. But once the Reprisal sets sail, she finds life aboard a pirate ship is not for the faint of heart. If her secret is uncovered, punishment will be swift and brutal." -Amazon

I read this book all the way through because it was super short and I had nothing else to do. All I have to say is almost positive that pirates did not actually wear stripped puffy shirts. This book was written for teenagers by a lady who writes children's books and it's very obvious.
So let's just pretend it never happened, forget about it as we inevitably will, and move on with our lives.
