Isle of Swords


Hello, my current book is called Isle of Swords, it's about a pirate crew who fights the British and the notorious Bartholemew Thorn. Led by the Scottish Declan Ross and his ship the " William Wallace", they find a man who can't find his identity,he is found mortally wounded on a random island. Named "Cat after the whipping that he seemed to recieved by a Cat O' Nine tails(a whip with 9 lashes). They rescue a monk from a attacked island and the monk, Padres Domiguez, has a treasure map tattooed to his back(Thats got to hurt).


The author used very descriptive words, such as describing the basement of Declan Ross' muy loco friend a.k.a the French, Jacques St. Pierre. " 10 torch lights danced upon brass,silver, and Gold. Tables were littered with Saws,clamps,and sextants." You also may ask"How is Jacques loco?" Well, he blows up his own windmill and leaves barrels of Gunpowder around his forge.


The Author wrote this to show the hardships of pirates and others, and the name Padres Dominguez reminds me of the island Padres Del Fuego. The title is very intriguing because it is related to the story,more suspensful, and better than "Declan Ross" or "The William Wallace".


I don't understandhow you can memorize your life by looking at a cliff or forget at all! It seems very hard. Also why did Jacques St. Pierre just had to blow up his place to get the British away? Seriously, with a GRENADE!!!!!???????
