Talented in the areas of contemporary and historical fiction, I am always amazed by how diverse McClure's ideas are while staying true to her fan base. A Pirate, a Blockade Runner, and a Cat should be another big winner for her. Why? Because in a nutshell, no matter what she is writing, she knows what relates well to her readers.In this story, Erik has been uprooted. Not only is he away from all his friends and baseball, he's pretty ticked his dad hasn't tried to contact him since the move. Those emotions work their way into the unfolding stories of Major Stede Bonnet, Blackbeard, and the ghost residing in the deactivated Morris Island Lighthouse. Not only that, Erik's mom is trying to get him to befriend a couple of odd twins, when all he wants is to be reunited with his friends in Texas.This paranormal middle grade/tween novel has a lot to offer. A great read any time of the year, it will definitely get you in the mood for Halloween.I received a free copy of this book from the author. This review contains my honest opinions, which I have not been compensated for in any way.
