Customer Reviews

My kids loved it!

We did this for a read aloud in our homeschool unit study about Pirates. It was the highlight of the day for the kids, a great story.

Great Novel

If you are looking for an adventurous book that isn't too long, yet isn't too short, and are in love with Avi like I am, Captain Grey is a good book for you. Although it hasn't won many awards and such, it tells a story about a young boy who's father is killed and his sister is missing, suspected dead, by a gang of pirates and their captain, Captain Grey. He must adjust to the life of a pirate as one of Captain Grey's shipmates. But can he escape?

The best pirate adventure since trasure island

This was one of the best pirate stories i have ever read. I think it is Avi's best book ever even better than Charolette Doyle. It is about Kevin, who is captured by a gang of pirates. The pirates kill his father and sister. He is locked in a room, but tames a pigeon to deliever messages. He carries on a conversation in this way with someone but he does not know who. The person is the most surprising part of the story. A great Book!

captain grey rules cause it's about a really righteous pirate named captain grey it inspired me to right my own book on pirates

Good historical fiction.
