My nostrils are filled with smoke. Blood from the wound on my shoulder covers my arm and hand. But I cannot think about that. All I can think of is what is before me. I force open the trunk with my knife. I cannot believe my eyes. Gold and silver coins. Pearls and emeralds. I laugh like a crazy man. Now I am one of them. Now I am a pirate… In Pirate, life aboard a 17th century pirate ship sailing the Caribbean is described by a young pirate in all its gruesome detail! Yesterday’s Voices is a fantastic series that gives older Hi-Lo readers manageable, yet highly sophisticated, thought-provoking historical fiction. Each story will include a spread that gives the reader the factual background to the historical theme or event explored in the story.
