Book Review: Freebooter's Paradise

All Cameron wants to do is spend his summer with his friends. But a day of bicycle riding and Icees is interrupted when super-sized dust devils sweep into his Apache Junction neighborhood, and a pirate ship sails in on the dust and lands in front of a newly opened HeapsMart store. But Blackbeard isn't just there to sell toys and clothes - shoppers must first walk through his ship, where they fall prey to high-interest credit cards and devious spells that brainwash them into spending more money than things are worth. And Cameron discovers that Blackbeard might be after more than Apache Junction's money. He's there to track down the Lost Duchman's Mine and steal its gold.

Freebooter's Paradise is middle-grade chapter book that kids will love, full of action and strange adventures, a wild ride of chases and magic, where Cameron and his friends must find the courage to fight the pirates and save their town... because they're the only ones who can. Author Tim Loge is a librarian at the Hamilton Library and this is his first novel. Look for more from Tim in the future! - Michelle (Sunset)
