            There were pirates in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and the China Seas. Ship went from South America to Spain. These ship carried gold, silver and goods across the Caribbean, and they were often attacked by pirates. The pirates killed the sailors and stole everything in the ship.
Evaluate The Author’s Idea :

These book have a good stories, but the weakness from this book is from the picture. The picture are unclear.
