What was it like to live on a pirate ship? Climb aboard and set sail with acclaimed author Roxie Munro in this nonfiction picture book adventure through the ages!

Did pirates really have peg legs? Did they make captives and disobedient crew "walk the plank?" What treasures did they actually steal? Were there toilets onboard ships? Nonfiction pro Roxie Munro has the answers to kids' questions about the real-life pirates kids love!

In this historical and scientifically-oriented approach to a popular topic, Munro invites young readers aboard to sail the seven seas with pirates of legend--Blackbeard, Calico Jack, and more! Beyond meeting the fascinating fiends of the open ocean (like the infamous Blackbeard, who relied on the power of intimidation, and Grace O'Malley, the "Pirate Queen"), readers will sail full STEAM ahead as they learn about navigation technology, the environment, economics, geology, architecture, and more.

The back matter will include a glossary, information on different types of vessels, and maps of famous captains' routes to enable young readers to truly take their turn at the helm.
