"The Hand of Robin Squires" is a well written and highly recommended book by literary critics and historians.  The plot centers around a boy named Robin who finds out his uncle is a dastardly pirate with ill intentions.  On the island Robin meets up with an Indigenous boy his age, they become friends, and narrowly escape with their lives.  

Although it is written for ages 9-13, it does contain a few scenes that squeamish kids might find hard to listen to. We're talking about pirates and their exploits after all!  The events are within the context of the historical time period. I have read this book to my classes for over 20 years(in public and private schools) and have had zero complaints from students or parents.  Quite the opposite, it has been a perennial favorite!  Any parents who would like more information, please message me and I would be more than happy to give more specifics.
