The tale of young wanna-be pirates who consider themselves of better character than the nefarious pirates of the Carribean. Jack Sparrow's child character keeps very true to Johnny Depp's portrayal of the adult Captain Jack Sparrow. It is a simple high-seas adventure, but well-written and highly fun for elementary age reading. The little girl in me enjoyed it a great deal!

Very good book for young readers. I love how this is all before Jack gets the Black Pearl, it shows how he was a young man

I am SO MAD that I was too old to enjoy this book when I read it. Or maybe I wouldn't have liked the female protagonist anyway. Who knows. I know adults who enjoyed these though. I'll probably end up reading this again later when I'm feeling nostalgic.

A wonderful story for young readers. Filled with adventures short and sweet.

This is such an interesting children's book. It follows the adventures of a young Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew in the search of a lost treasure. The character of Jack Sparrow is still alike his older self in the movies. I won't lie I wasn't expecting the Jack Sparrow I knew, but this mild version of the character was still satisfying.

Rereading all of these as I've finally got the last few in the series after years of searching! 😃
It was shorter than I remember at just 134 pages, but very fast paced and sets the story up nicely for book 2 🙂
