Summary
"Ahoy, maties! Jump aboard our ship as we learn about the tale of Blackbeard the pirate. Blackbeard was a pirate with lots of treasures. He hid his treasures so well that some of them still haven't been found. In this book, you'll not only learn about pirates, but you'll also measure distances to find how far apart pirate ships are and how far you are from the treasure. Concepts include metric and customary units of length, unit conversion, and how to compare distances. Embark on your search for Blackbeard's treasure!"
