The days of Clipper ships and Whalers in the quaint colonial village of Nantucket form the backdrop to these heartwarming tales of a Quaker family and the often rambunctious but always delightful Obadiah. In this tale, Obadiah has determined to become a fearless pirate when he grows up—to roam the seas with buried treasure in secret places! But the gift of an heirloom telescope and a gentle lesson from his father on true bravery give Obadiah an entirely new perspective on courage.

Obedia is a Quaker boy don't let the old English hinder the reading of this book. Kids will love it and its a great way to introduce new beliefs and language to children. Obedia gets a looking glass he thinks he wants to be a pirate until he learns what they do. His father tells him about his grandfather that he was named after who bravly sailed the seas. This is a touching story. The illistrations are vague but intresting. ( )

i like the illustration of when he thinks he's walking the plank.
