Ireland's Pirate Queen: The True Story of Grace O'Malley

Ireland's Pirate Queen: The True Story of Grace O'Malley is by Anne Chambers. A fascinating tale of Granuaile, the famous female Irish pirate. This book details her life and times, and her visit to the court of Queen Elizabeth I. It is a very detailed account and sometimes hard to follow because of the old English and Irish, but it is well worth the time. The book gives you new insight on the history of Ireland and its interactions with England.

Ratings: 9th grade - 7 out of 10.
