Other books on pirates and treasure hunting suitable for children?

Author: admin  |  Category: Hunting

I am a primary school teacher and I am looking for books on pirates and treasure hunting suitable for children aged around 9/10. Other than Treasure Island and Peter Pan, can you think of any others that have good descriptions of either/or pirates or treasure hunting?

Thank you.

    It would be worth a trip to your local Barnes & Noble. They have a couple of large displays of pirate material.

    Robinson Crusoe – Daniel Defoe
    The Swiss Family Robinson – Johan Wyss
    Frenchman’s Creek – Daphne du Maurier
    Jamaica Inn – Daphne du Maurier
    The last two are not exactly for 9 – 10 year olds. But they’d appreciate them.
    The Count of Monte Cristo – Alexandre Dumas
    Kidnapped – R.L.Stevenson (sort of)
