Pirates! by Celia Rees

3.0

This book will always have a special place in my heart. It's the first book that taught me a lot that I didn't already know about pirates, and it's jus a lot of fun. I even really enjoy the way it's written. I've probably reread it more than any book I own. But more and more, I'm realizing how much I've been outgrowing this book. That's only natural. It came out when I was 12 and I'm almost 30 now. But it's definitely showing its age, especially in terms of the way racism issues are written.

I'll keep it on my shelf for a bit longer but I don't think I'll have very many more rereads with this one.
