Books like Seven dead pirates by Linda Bailey
When Lewis Dearborn, a shy and anxious eleven‑year‑old, learns that his great‑grandfather has left his family a crumbling seaside mansion, he is excited to fill a secluded tower with his new bedroom. The joy turns to mystery when he finds the tower already occupied—by the ghosts of seven dead pirates. These restless spirits have the ship they once commanded now on display in a local museum, and they long to sail to Libertalia, a legendary pirate utopia. Unable to venture outside for the last two centuries, the pirates beg Lewis to help them reclaim the vessel and finally travel beyond their forgotten home. As he works alongside these raucous yet fashion‑savvy specters, Lewis confronts his own bashfulness, learns the value of friendship, and discovers a newfound courage to speak aloud and embrace adventure.
