While on watch in the crow's nest, the pirate kids spot something gaining on their ship- a ghost ship! Rotten Tooth refuses to believe them, so the kids know that they have to solve this mystery themselves. They spend a night on deck waiting for the ghost ship to approach, and then they plan to board it. But is it even possible to step onto a ghost ship? And if it is, is it possible to get off of it?
The Pirate School Series really takes children on exciting adventures. I love how it takes a mostly "boy" topic- Pirates- and makes it exceptionally adventurous for girls too by including Vicky and Inna (2 of the Pirate School students). Mysterious fiction books are very much enjoyed by 2nd and 3rd graders and Ahoy, Ghost Ship Ahead is a book that keeps the kids guessing the whole time as to why the mysterious Ghost Ship is lerking near their ship- the Sea Rat. I really enjoyed reading how the Pirate School Students (Protagonists) kept overcoming the students' antagonist throughout the series, named Rotten Tooth. It teaches young readers that through teamwork they can overcome many real-life obstacles/challenges. Great book- can't wait to read the rest of the adventurous series.

After quickly reading through the first book in the series, The Curse of Snake Island #1 (Pirate School), my five year old and I made short work of this one as well. The enjoyment of finishing a chapter book with such great illustrations makes this another great installment in the series. Onto the next 'lesson' Attack on the High Seas! #3 (Pirate School).
Another hit!

The second book in the Pirate School series is just as wonderful and creative as the first both in its story content and imaginative illustrations. Another "must have" for any child!
