A thread of lightning spiraled down towards me and made contact with the tip of my sword. I felt its power and braced myself against it, crying out as pain beyond anything I’d ever experienced surged through my body in rapid waves. My skin cracked and light poured out of the rivulets, white hot and bright as the sun.“I command you to be still!” I shouted again, plunging my sword into the clouds. Suddenly it was like the whole storm drained from the sky, pouring all its power into my sword, and I felt myself consumed from the inside out. I gave a loud cry as the cracks in my skin widened and deepened, and light shot out from everywhere, and then everything exploded into shards of electric crystal, shooting in all directions and blinding me with hot light...Events are about to happen that will change the fates of worlds...After running away from an arranged marriage, sixteen year-old Elizabeth Thornley finds herself in the company of one of the most feared pirate crews of the time.

Noted author Gary L. Blackwood grew up intrigued by crime fighters. In Bad Guys, the two-time Smithsonian Notable Book Award winner takes a look at the "other side." A motley crew of villians, their chronicles are, indeed, fascinating. Yet, Blackwood goes far beyond storytelling. Placing the shenanigans of highwaymen, outlaws, swindlers, gangsters, and pirates against the backdrop of history, he considers them each in terms of the places and times in which the culprits operated. Were they evil cutthroats? Or, were they driven to their deeds out of desperation? In general, readers will find very few Robin Hoods. They will also discover that the reality of many of these men and women lies somewhere between utter scoundrel and social casualty.

enjoy this pirate tale as much as my son enjoys having me read it to him every night. The story is humerous and full of suprises with more text in it's 40 pages than your average picturebook. The illustrations are wonderful, colorful, and inspiring. Pirate Pete and his poor parrot travel from Candy Island, to Dragon Island, to Mermaid Island looking for treasure to plunder. The way the art is presented is witty and different. The suprise ending is a big hit with kids. Buy this one if you like pirate tales for kids, you won't regret it.

It is a tale of neighborhood life off the northeast coast of Scotland.Basil Mertoun, a reticent and misanthropic man about which nothing is known, takes up his residence in a tumble-down mansion on a Shetland cape, which he rents at a nominal sum from Magnus Troil, an old landowner. Basil is accompanied only by a young son, Mordaunt, who, more sociable and agreeable than his father, makes acquaintances all about the countryside. Especially does he frequent the Troil home, attracted thither by the two charming daughters of Magnus, Minna and Brenda; but he is so impartial in his attentions that the local gossips do not know which he courts. Returning from their home one stormy night he takes refuge in the cottage of the Yellowleys, an eccentric old farmer and his miserly sister; but is warned by Norna, a half-crazed seeress, to proceed on his way ...
