    About this ebook

    The legend behind the Gasparilla Pirate Festival in Tampa Bay!

    José Gaspar never intends to become a pirate, but after being falsely accused of stealing the crown jewels, it becomes his fate while trying to escape on a ship bound from Spain to Florida. After saving his best friend and freeing the crew from the ship’s evil captain, he defeats the infamous Pierre LaFitte then claims the west coast of Florida as his pirate domain... until the Americans find him.
