Sinopse

IT'S A CRUEL SUMM ER  Arrrr!    All Sam wants this summer is to watch baseball, play video games, and read his favorite supernatural series.

Then Sam and Alex find themselves swept up in an epic pirate adventure through the historic streets of Boston. With the help of a three-hundred-year-old ghost-pirate, they'll have to piece together the clues of a long-lost treasure map-- and  master a tricky sailor's knot--or risk becoming ghosts themselves! The cousins may not have much in common, but along the way they'll learn that some bonds, like some knots, are truly  unbreakable .

Every Word Tells a Story

Tom Read Wilson

Tom Read Wilson is here to take us on a rip-roaring tour through some of the most astonishing and amusing words in the English language with Every Word Tells a Story. See how the English language evolved in this extraordinary exploration of the origins of everyday words. Full of funny stories and fascinating facts, Tom Read Wilson knows even the most ordinary-sounding word can have the most surprising story behind it!  Did you know, for instance, that:  The word ‘bloomers’ comes from Amelia Bloomer, who was a women's rights activist and owner and editor of the first U.S. newspaper edited by and for women, who wanted to move more freely in her knickers?  Or that the word ‘daisy’ comes from the Old English dæges eage, meaning ‘day’s eye’, because the petals of a daisy open at dawn and close at dusk?  The word 'easel' comes from the Dutch word 'ezel', meaning donkey, because both are depenable and suitable for carrying a load?  Or that English nicknames for police officers, 'bobbies' and 'peelers', both come from the names of Sir Robert Peel, British prime minister in the 1800s and creator of the first modern police force?  Each fascinating word is explored through a quirky, amusing story alongside the etymology, word origin and definition.  Paired with beautiful, characterful illustrations by Ian Morris, Every Word Tells a Story is a perfect book for young wordsmiths, encouraging kids and adults alike to have fun whilst learning about language.

Young Blackbeard the Pirate -...

Christopher Allen

YOUNG BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE
PORT OF BRISTOL 1690
Book 6 of 6 – The Great water balloon ambush
Here is the summary of the Story:
In 1690s Bristol, young Edward Teach (future Blackbeard) leads his crew in their most daring raid yet—ambushing their own parents' picnic with water balloons. After days of restless boredom aboard The Salty Pickle, Edward masterminds the attack: modified spud cannons launch pig-bladder balloons, Charles leads a bucket brigade, and Anne's piercing scream signals the assault. The crew infiltrates the meadow with military precision, soaking the unsuspecting adults in a glorious, chaotic battle. Though initially stunned, the parents join the fun, surrendering their soggy sandwiches with laughter. This final adventure showcases Edward's tactical genius and flair for dramatic command—qualities that would later make him history's most feared pirate. The story blends authentic period details with childhood whimsy, concluding the series by demonstrating how Blackbeard's legendary leadership began with simple backyard adventures and loyal friends who followed him into any mischief.
This is the last of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this final instalment, and it's only $3.
the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes being accordion, fiddle, harmonica and bango in a classical sea shanty jig. The closing music ends the tale on a similar jig and at about 2 minutes with the same musical instruments but more upbeat looking forward to the next episode.
The story itself runs to about 35 minutes is narrated in my own voice.
I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
