Pirate Series for Teenagers

BabyBoy · 10-11-2017, 11:33 PM

Any recommendations for a fantasy series involving pirates? What I'm looking for is a story that follows a pirate crew over a span of 3 or more books. Specifically, pirates that battle supernatural antagonists, with teenage protagonists.

The definitive "Pirates and the Supernatural" book would perhaps be Tim Powers' "On Stranger Tides", but it's certainly not a children's book.

Seems like you're looking for a pirate version of Harry Potter. I'll have a think.

Which end of teenage are we talking here? Teenagers can be quite sophisticated.

The Chathrand Voyage series by Robert VS Redick might appeal.

Peter Pan has pirates.
Moonfleet is about smugglers.
And there is Treasure Island.
All free.

Lots of books about pirates, and lots of books about the supernatural. It's the combination of the two that's tricky!

When I want a particular genre I always head to manybooks. They nicely organise books by genre and have Pirate Tales:

If you find something you like - I saw some interesting ghosty books - return to MR and see if it's in the library here: the books are far better formatted.

This one looks fun and has some good reviews:

If nothing else BabyBoy why not try to write such a series yourself? It sounds like an interesting concept.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll go check these stories out.

You're right crich70. It would be a fun project to work on.
