MIRABELL AND THE IMMORTAL PIRATE BLACK SAM BELLAMY
by Cari Galeziewski
Mirabell's life revolves around middle school, her best friend Stu, and fencing, a sport that her grandmother taught her.

But she soon discovers that she is the direct descendant of Black Sam Bellamy, a pirate cursed with immortality, and that she must help him find his own long-lost treasure to save her abducted grandmother.
​
As Mirabell and her friends race around Cape Cod, looking for clues, Bellamy's evil nemesis pursues them, convinced that they have the treasure and the key to opening a portal to the pirate ship, Whydah.
​
Will Mirabell learn to trust those around her and save her grandmother before he catches up to them and opens the gateway to the pirate world?
