I read this entire series when I was a preteen or young teenager. I LOVED each and every one of these and I waited impatiently for each new installment.
Being an avid Disney fan and the POTC ride in Disney World is my favorite, and the POTC movies were among my most-watched movies, I could not contain myself when my dad found these for me in the book store.
Although I have not read them in years, I remember them fondly and I strongly recommend them to anyone who likes pirates, tie-in novels, or just exciting adventuress. I think these would be a hit for reluctant readers as well (even though I did not classify as a reluctant reader, these grab you quickly and are pretty easy to get into).

Jack and Fitzwilliam are going back to New Orleans to get the amulet. They run into trouble when the Pirate Police find and jail them. Jack, being able to get himself out of trouble, manages to get out of jail and find the rest of the crew. Calling on Tia Dalma, they bargain with her and find the gold gem for the amulet and Jack gets greedy only to be called on it. Finding Arabella and the Fleur they then come upon Madame Minute who wants the amulet. Now Jack must get them out of trouble and out of New Orleans. Can he do it? When will Tia Dalma call in their debt? Where is Madame Minute?

I enjoyed this story. Jack is crazy as ever with his schemes. I am glad they found the Fleur. I am glad that they manage to survive. I look forward to finding the rest of the books in the series so I can find out the answers to my questions. This is a good series for fans of The Pirates of the Caribbean as well as 8-12 year olds.

⭐️(4/5) A fun children's read 🌊⛵️ ⚓️⚜️🐍🗡️🏴‍☠️

My dad gave me this book, back in 2013. Today is the day I read it in a single sitting. Can't believe it has been 11 years!

It was a fun read, simple and exciting. I'm sure it will be a great first read for any kid.

Let's draw kids around us, out of the enchantment of screens.

Until next time!
Ciao!

A satisfying read, even for grownups. Especially if those grownups, like me, loved the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack Sparrow" is a thrilling swashbuckling adventure that captivates readers with its charismatic protagonist, Jack Sparrow. The narrative skillfully weaves together daring escapades, mysterious islands, and a touch of supernatural intrigue. The dynamic character development adds depth to the story, making Jack Sparrow both enigmatic and endearing. The fast-paced plot keeps readers on the edge of their seats, blending humor and suspense seamlessly. The vivid descriptions of the high seas and vibrant characters create a cinematic experience in the reader's mind. Overall, the book is a rollicking journey that brings the magic of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise to life on the pages.

In this book the crew is reunited in New Orleans and they fight Madame Minuit. I like this book series on the whole. The things I don't like about this series are Arabella's relationship with her mother and the fact that Jack never goes off on his adventures with Tumen and Jean, only Fitzy and Arabella. I want more Tumen and Jean in these books.

This book was alright. It was a blast from the past, so to say :)
I enjoyed this book when I was younger, but now, in my 18 years of wisdom it's just too childish. The language makes no sense, and it's very predicable and cheesy. But hey, it's a kidsbook and I guess I'm not a kid anymore ;) At least not when it comes to this book!

This is a fun series. Sage started in the middle, so we need to get the first ones so we know everything they mention in these other books. He really enjoys the stories though.
