RALEIGH, N.C. - ncarol.com -- Interview with a Caribbean Chronicles fan.

So, I was minding my own business when Mom dropped The Caribbean Chronicles into my lap, spilling my soda. Thanks a lot, Mom.

Imagine being a perfectly normal middle schooler, minding your own business, when—bam—you're suddenly hanging out with Blackbeard. Sounds like something that'd give you serious indigestion, right? Well, that's Ricky Bradshaw's reality after a fishing trip goes sideways. Before you know it, the poor kid is sailing with pirates and trying to figure out how to avoid being thrown overboard or worse, swallowed by the Kraken.

In the series, Ricky does his best to survive without losing his head (or lunch). Things go from worse to apocalyptic in Dead Calm, Bone Dry when the crew of the Flying Dutchman set their sights on his body. With his soul in peril, Ricky teams up with Calico Jack in book three. The pair, plus two of history's fiercest lady pirates, Anne Bonny and Mary Read, mix a treasure hunt with the worst game of hide-and-seek ever.

You'd think a kid like Ricky might catch a break after that, but you would be wrong.In Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet's Fateful Clash, he's forced to crew with two historical titans of piracy, neither of whom would win any awards for hygiene. Just when you think things can't get more intense, Ricky's next challenge comes straight from... below sea level. In Down to Davy Jones, Ricky's in a whole new type of peril. His mom's sick, and he's looking for miracles, but what he finds is an oceanic version of "going to hell and back."

In conclusion (don't you love conclusions?), this series is a solid mix of history, faith, and more pirate problems than you'd think a single kid could survive. Thanks for the book, Mom. Seriously, thanks!
