Readers who love a good pirate story will relish Susan Brownrigg’s Madagascar-set adventure. Kintana leaves her ex-pirate dad in charge of their pet emporium to sign up as cabin-boy on the pirate ship The Nine Sails. She quickly learns that pirates are not to be trusted and is caught up in a deadly race to locate treasure buried by the legendary Blackbeard himself. Much of the adventure takes place on dry land, and as we’re in Madagascar and its real-life Pirate Island we encounter some wonderful wild creatures.  The whole thing moves at a great pace and there are some riveting action scenes not to mention fascinating details of Madagascan life. NB it’s probably not one for the squeamish who won’t like the gruesome giant hissing cockroaches, or grisly graveyard scenes.

 

If this inspires readers to go searching out more pirate stories, the classic Moonfleet by John Meade Faulkner is still hard to beat.
