I highly recommend this book (along with the rest of its series) for younger readers. Not only is it short and to the point, but it also features the one and only Captain Jack Sparrow! I went to Disney World where they had a set of the first couple of books in the series for sale. I immediately bought it since I'm both a sucker for the film franchise and origin stories. I was not disappointed in the slightest. I'm not sure how older readers will feel about it, but its definitely a good pick for Elementary and Middle School readers! ( )

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! ( )

A very intresting take on Jack Sparrow's early years and something that I would very much reccomend to children.
