Everything you think you know about pirates is wrong.
You've seen the movies. Hook hand. Parrot. Buried treasure. Walk the plank.
None of it is real.
And the actual truth is way more interesting.
200 Fun Facts About Pirates For Kids by Jonah Mullen tears through 300 years of Hollywood myth and hands you the real story - 200 verified, sometimes disgusting, often hilarious facts spread across 16 chapters packed with history, science, and genuine surprises.
Inside, you'll discover:
✔ Why pirates almost never buried treasure and what they actually did with stolen cargo instead
✔ The written democratic voting system pirates used to fire their own captains, decades before most countries allowed ordinary people to vote
✔ What hardtack really is, why it moved on its own after a few weeks at sea, and why sailors ate it anyway
✔ The one psychological trick Blackbeard used before battle that made entire crews surrender without a single shot fired
✔ The real women who disguised themselves as men, fought in combat, and commanded crews who didn't care once they proved themselves
✔ How pirates navigated thousands of miles of open ocean using only stars, a few simple tools, and math - with no GPS, no maps, and no second chances
Perfect for curious 4-12 year olds who devour trivia, argue with adults about history, and want facts weird enough to stun a teacher. Not for readers who prefer their myths intact.
Every day without this book is another day thinking pirates walked the plank.
Grab your copy now and find out what really happened.
