When Daniel Collins and the crew of the Betsey set sail for Cuba in
1824, they have no idea of the horrors that lie ahead. This is just
one of the stories in a collection of five true tales about pirates
and shipwrecks that introduces readers to the perils of the high
seas. Pirates and Shipwrecks: True Stories is the first book in the
Mystery & Mayhem series for 9--12 year olds, which features
true tales that whet kids' appetites for history by engaging them
in genres with proven track records--mystery and adventure. History
is made of near misses, unexplained disappearances, unsolved
mysteries, and bizarre events that are almost too weird to be
true--almost! The Mystery & Mayhem series delves into the past
to provide kids with a jumping-off point into a lifelong habit of
appreciating history. Each of the true tales in Pirates and
Shipwrecks, including stories about pirate Barbarossa and
adventurer John Franklin, is paired with interesting facts about
the setting, industry, and time period. A glossary and index
provide the opportunity to use essential academic tools. These
nonfiction narratives use clear, concise language with compelling
plots, drawing in both avid and reluctant readers.
