Publisher's Synopsis
Young Edward Teach doesn't have the makings of a great pirate. He gets seasick, hates the taste of rum, and wishes his ship-mates weren't so nasty to everyone. But - yo-ho-ho-ho! - things are about to change. Find out how, thanks to a dead parrot and a buried treasure chest, Edward becomes Blackbeard, terror of the high seas.
