This is an informative book covering women pirates from every country starting very early in history. Illustrations in a gothic style add to the telling of successful and unsuccessful ventures by women pirates. This book is not necessarily designed to be read in one sitting, but can be put aside and returned to later. I would recommend it for grades 5 and up. Some of the content may not be understood by a 4th grader for the most part.
