Pirates of the New World: Island of Gold

By Ronan Goudie

It's 1718 in Nassau, Bahamas, and the Golden Age of Piracy is coming to an end. Captain Jonesy clutches a map to the legendary Island of Gold and seeks a crew to join him aboard his ship, The Friendly Companion, to discover this long-lost treasure.

Join an eclectic group of adventurers: a lookout with patches on both eyes, a peg-legged First Mate, the mysterious Bartholomew Christie, and the spirited Sadie Jones, as they face treacherous caverns, shark-infested waters, ship-rocking storms, and mutiny. But through it all, they discover that the greatest treasure of all is the friendship and family they find along the way.

Island of Gold is the first book in the Pirates of the New World trilogy. It is full of adventure and illustrated throughout, perfect for readers 7-10.
