Pirati circolari: Rafael Estrada

Il giorno stesso del suo settimo compleanno, il ragazzo che sarà chiamato Nasone viene secuestrato e rimane prigioniero per mano del capitano Garsen. Impressionato ma non impaurito, si lascia condurre fino all'unica scuola per pirati del mondo. Lì viene addestrato insieme ad altri ragazzi a convertirsi in un pirata leggendario. Le materie teoriche includeranno dalla Storia della Pirateria, fino alle tecniche di combattimento, sopravvivenza, nozioni d'astuzia e molte altre tecniche interessanti che dovranno mettere in pratica quando cominceranno le vere avventure in alto mare. Avventure, sopravvivenza, amicizia e miglioramento. Quando Lewis, Caprastorta e i suoi terribili seguaci abbordano il galeone nel bosco, tutti si domandano chi sia in realtà il capitano Garsen e perché sia scappato. Alcuni pensano che sia un traditore ed un codardo, altri, che aspetti pazientemente in un luogo nascosto in attesa di portare a termine la sua bramata vendetta. Tuttavia, nulla è come sembra. "Un romanzo molto piacevole, con azioni incatenate che si agganciano ad un finale a sorpresa. Un romanzo che si legge tutto d'un fiato e consiglio di leggerlo a tutti coloro che vogliano sentirsi più giovani e liberi per un momento. A chi non sarebbe piaciuto essere addestrato in una scuola pirata e solcare i mari con i propri compagni?" (UN TINTERO DE SAPPHIRE)
