Abigail Adams, Pirate of the Caribbean

by Steve Sheinkin

First published 2018

Abigail Adams, the prim and proper First Lady, leads a double life as a fearsome pirate captain in the Caribbean. When a Spanish warship threatens the American colonies, Abigail assembles a crew of unlikely buccaneers to raid the enemy's stronghold and turn the tide of the war. With musket and cutlass, she battles Spanish soldiers, mutinous first mates, and her own conflicted loyalties to crown and country. In the end, Abigail must decide whether to hang up her pirate flag or risk everything for the cause of independence.
