Kimmel, Eric. Blackbeard's Last Fight. Illustrated by Leonard Everett Fisher.Farrar, Straus and Giroux: 2006. ISBN: 0374307806. Ages 8-12.
This book is about young Jeremy Hobbs on his illegal adventure to capture the famous, dreaded Blackbeard the Pirate. Where, later on in battle, Jeremy realizes that Blackbeard the Pirate isn't the man he thought he was. The story is well written, in an informative and enjoyable way. The story is in an easy to read and follow format. Pictures, created by Leonard Everett Fisher, provide realistic images that compliment the text. All in all, I give this book two thumbs up. Not only are the facts approximately historically accurate, but they are organized in such a way that Blackbeard's Last Fight is pleasurable to read.
