The End of Calico Jack by Eddie Jones

In this YA pirate tale, award-winning author Eddie Jones blends action, adventure, and humor into a fictional retelling of the pirate exploits of Calico Jack, Anne Bonny, and Mary Read.

While searching for rumored treasure in a cave on Coffin Cay, a small island off the southwestern tip of Haiti (Hispaniola), Ricky suffers an absence seizure. During his last trance-like episode, Ricky uncovered a treasure from the Nuestra Se ora de Riqueza, a vessel in an armada of ships sailing the Spanish Main. Now back on Coffin Cay with his parents, Ricky hunts for the treasure he found in the cave over three hundred years earlier during his trip back to pirate land.

The End of Calico Jack is a fictional retelling of the pirate escapades of Calico Jack, Anne Bonny, and Mary Read. The story is based on historical research of the life of Calico Jack John Rackham. Some liberties have been taken in the telling of the story, but many of the events reflect what historians believed happened to Jack, Mary, and Anne. Also, in real life those who suffer absence seizures may appear to be in a trance but cannot recall what happens during their episode. The book includes a PIRATE MAP of Calico Jack's sailing routes and the ports he visited.

The End of Calico Jack is the 2020 Selah Award Winner for YA Literature

Jones, Eddie: - Eddie is an award-winning author of middle-grade fiction with HarperCollins. Father of two boys, he's also a pirate at heart who loves to surf. Eddie's middle grade Monster Mystery series is wholesome, humorous reading with a flair for unexpected adventure. The series has a spooky but spiritual message based on real monsters (sort of) found in Scripture. Hints at werewolves, ghosts, mediums, vampires, walking dead, mummies, demons, witches, and phantoms are all mentioned in the Bible. But are they real? Nick Caden doesn't think so. In each episode he sets out to prove who the real killer is. The fourth book in the series, Rumor of a Werewolf, released in June 2019 and took third place in the Selah awards for Middle Grade fiction. Phantom Gunslinger released November, 2020. Each book has OFFICIAL CRIMINAL REPORT QUESTIONS so readers can easily complete a book report. The Caribbean Chronicles is a humorous time-travel pirate fantasy adventure series. The third book, The End of Calico Jack, won first place in the Selah awards for Young Adult literature. Book four, No Good Stede Goes Unpunished released Dec 1, 2020. All but No Good Stede Goes Unpunished and Phantom Gunslinger are available as audiobooks. Eddie calls his novels, fun, fast reads for boys who don't like to read. An avid sailor with a great sense of humor, Eddie has been married to a girl he met at a stoplight in West Palm Beach during spring break for... too many years, Eddie's wife says. Not enough, says Eddie. From 2009 to 2019 Eddie served as CEO of Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas. He now writes full time and mentors authors.
