Amazing! I'm kind of hoping that, one day, all these books are combined to form just one giant origin story for older readers. I would definitely buy it!
I read this entire series when I was a preteen or young teenager. I LOVED each and every one of these and I waited impatiently for each new installment. Being an avid Disney fan and the POTC ride in Disney World is my favorite, and the POTC movies were among my most-watched movies, I could not contain myself when my dad found these for me in the book store. Although I have not read them in years, I remember them fondly and I strongly recommend them to anyone who likes pirates, tie-in novels, or just exciting adventuress. I think these would be a hit for reluctant readers as well (even though I did not classify as a reluctant reader, these grab you quickly and are pretty easy to get into).
So far I have only read the 3rd and 4th books in the Jack Sparrow series but I have liked them. . like the overall story in this bank better then the 3rd book. T.ere is definitely a lot of action and adventure which is perfect for younger readers. I think Kidd could have made it a little more detailed and pulled the story out more and it would have been really excellent and engaging, but as an elementary school or reluctant reader type book it is great.
