Pirates

2006Terry Deary

4.6/5

I absolutely adore Horrible Histories. When I was about 9, there was this animated series on tv. It didn't last very long, but it was about these two kids who travel in time and see all these horrible events. That was my first taste of horrible histories. It's a shame that I only discovered the book series after I saw this show but ever since I picked up the first one of these books - not that I can even remember which it was - I have been in love with them. Then came the live-action tv series which I am absolutely mad about. I think I have seen every episode maybe 4 or 5 times - it's my go to show when I'm ill or upset, because it always makes me smile. And the songs are just wow...but I'm going a bit off track here. My point is, Horrible Histories is one of my favourite books series, tv series, song series...(is that even a thing? I don't know). And this book is no exception. I read this many years ago, when I was in about year 6. But I think I appreciated it so much more now than I did back then. It's so witty, and clever. Terry Deary is seriously the best and Martin Brown's illustrations are amazing. What age would I recommend this to? Well, I don't recommend reading it to a toddler as a bed time story, but aside from that, I don't think it has an age limit. I'm 21 and I'm still a fan.
