Answer 1

Peter Pan and Treasure Island come to mind. You usually can't beat the classics!

There was a really good historically-based fantasy-comedy I once read. It was about a young man from Europe who was training to be an assassin and was captured by pirates in southeast Asia. Excellent story - I remember the details about the pirates seemed particularly realistic - but I don't remember the book title or author.

Answer 2

There's always the great classic of Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island."
Also, "Pirates!" by Celia Rees is a good choice.
If it doesn't have to be pirates but just sailing stories, then check out:
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Kidnapped
Moby Dick
Jaws
Gulliver's Travels
Robinson Crusoe

Answer 3

the bloody jack series is pretty good. the books are called bloody jack, curse of the blue tattoo, and under the jolly roger (there's a fourth one too, i think it is something like in the belly of the monster???? something like that.)

also try Pirates! don't remember the author. about a girl and a slave from a sugarcane plantation both becoming pirates... it was really good.

there was also a book called voyage of the arctic tern. not exactly pirates, but it was a really good book with a twisted ending and it was written completely in poetry but the poems were really readable.
