Question: Which are some good books that tell pirate stories!? :)!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The "Bloody Jack" series (weird title, I know) by L!.A!. Meyer is excellent!. There are six books published so far, with at least two more to come! These are!.!.
1!. Bloody Jack
2!. The Curse of the Blue Tattoo
3!. Under the Jolly Roger
4!. In the Belly of the Bloodhound
5!. Mississippi Jack
6!. My Bonny Light Horseman
7!. Rapture of the Deep (out September 2009)
8!. The Wake of the Lorelai Lee

These books tell the story of what follows when Mary 'Jacky' Faber disguises herself as a boy in order to attain a position upon a Royal Navy ship in 18th century London!. These are really great books with lots of action!.

also!.!.!. by Ken Oppel:
1!. Airborn
2!. Skybreaker
3!. Starclimber
These 'pirate' stories take place on airships rather than actual boats, but they still have that element of swashbuckling adventure!. These are also excellent!.!.!.I thought they would be too 'science fiction-y' but they were actually written as plausible stories!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
