L'autore:
Over the years, Joan Santomenna and her grandson, Marco, have shared a number of adventures. Some were short others longer in duration. All were fun and each had a logical conclusion. Not this latest journey. Spanning three years, the trip was a wild ride through the Caribbean with close encounters with modern-day pirates, unsolved mysteries and even the attempted theft of a U.S. nuclear submarine. “Sounds interesting doesn't it,” 16-year-old Marco says with a smile. “Makes you want to hear more.” “To find out the whole story of this adventure on the high seas, though, you'll have to pick up a copy of “Caribbean Capers,” (WindSpirit Publishing, $9.95), the pair's first venture into fiction.
Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:
Three hundred years ago, fearsome pirates roamed the Caribbean Sea, attacking and robbing passing merchant ships. On the wharves of St Thomas and in its warehouses, they openly sold their stolen booty to the highest bidder.On the nearby island of St John captured African slaves labored in the intense tropical heat clearing the steep mountain slopes, planting and harvesting sugar cane. Much has changed. The slaves have been set free; the sugarcane is gone; the mountains are, once again, heavily treed. But the pirates? ... There will always be pirates!
