Pirates Most Wanted: Thirteen of the Most Bloodthirsty Pirates Ever to Sail the High Seas

32 pp. | Atheneum | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-3934-4 $16.99
(4) 4-6 In a series of illustrated biographical sketches, Matthews highlights the careers of notoriously violent pirates, some who are well known (Blackbeard), others less so (Charlotte de Berry). The author's enthusiastic emphasis is on battles and bloodshed, incorporating bits and pieces of general history. The pages are busy, including many photos and illustrations; a center-spread foldout displays details of a captain's cabin.
