SUGGESTIONS FROM THE LISTSERV
The Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists by Gideon Defoe- and subsequent volumes, adventuring with Ahab / Communists /Napoleon. Absurdist humor; worth trying any one of them but the jokes wear thin after a while.
Pirates of Pensacola Keith Thomson 2005
Pirates of the Levant Arturo Perez-Reverte 2010
The Pirate Devlin Mark Keating 2010
The Pirate King Laurie R. King 2011
The pyrates Fraser, George MacDonald, 1925-2008. New York : Knopf : Distributed by Random House,1984 Funny title by the Flashman author; my favorite.

SBN: 9781597800945 (pbk.); 1597800945 (pbk.)
An anthology of original stories featuring a science fiction and fantasy romp through pirate-infested seas. The settings of these stories vary from the traditional 17th century Caribbean glory years of piracy to the frozen seas off colonial Boston to unnamed far future oceans to deep space itself. (what it says; haven't read this one yet)
Or else my lady keeps the key Baker, Kage. Burton, Mich. : Subterranean Press, 2008 Can't remember if this is an expanded version of her story in the Fast Ships, Black Sails anthology or not, but I enjoyed it.
Capt. Hook: The Adventures of a Notorious Youth James Hart and the classic that inspired it: Peter Pan by JM Barrie Set to Sea by Drew Weing Graphic novel; an all ages read with lots of pirates in it.
Grania Morgan Llywelyn Fictional but based on the life of Grace O'Malley , who was involved in both legitimate trade and piracy.
Bloody Jack L.A. Meyer. Wonderful series about a runaway girl, Mary "Jacky" Faber, disguising herself as a boy and ending up on both naval and pirate ships. The series continues with Curse of the Blue Tattoo, Under the Jolly Roger, In the Belly of the Bloodhound, Mississippi Jack, My Bonny Light Horseman, Rapture of the Deep, The Wake of the Lorelei Lee, and The Mark of the Golden Dragon.
For grades 6-8.
Moonfleet J. Meade Faulkner Marginal; seaside smugglers and thieves, but it "feels" piratey to me. Moonfleet
Dr Syn on the High Seas Russell Thorndike
A great blood and thunder adventure, but some racist bits involving a rival Black pirate may jar readers). The other Dr Syn novels, like Moonfleet, largely involve smuggling and dirty work on the shore, but this one has a significant amount of full scale pirateyness.
Beauty Queens Libba Bray
There are also a few novels featuring Anne Bonny (Bonney), a female 18th century pirate.
