Ahoy! Read These 15 Books About Pirates For a Wild Ride

"Daughter of the Pirate King" ($8) kicks off Tricia Levenseller's series of books about fierce young women who rule the seas. Alosa, a 17-year-old pirate captain, is on a quest to retrieve a legendary treasure map, and she has a plan — which happens to involve allowing herself to be captured by an enemy ship. No one on the ship has any clue that they're part of her scheme. Although the first mate, Riden, seems to suspect Alosa's motives, she's more than a match for any pirate who crosses her.
