Black Tarantula
The Pirate Becomes A Man
The Golden Age of Piracy, launched in early 1700s. This unforgettable
twinkling in time spawned such notorious reprobates as Blackbeard
and Calico Jack. Glamorized on the silver screen, these nautical
hooligans were cast in roles as gallant daredevils. These portrayals
are untrue. Pirates were bloodthirsty criminals and cowards. Bilge
Rat Pirate Adventurer paints a realistic picture of Pirates’ brutal
world. (Finalist – 2017 Book Excellence Awards (Canada) and
Finalist – 2017 International Book Awards.)
Book Two from the award winning young
adult series “Bilge Rat — Pirate Adventurer”
