Terrie, going about her duty under Mr. Clendaniel, finds something weird about the construction site. Her interest is peaked, especially when Mr. Crabtree seems to be giving her a cold shoulder after presenting the items they happen to have found on the construction site. She begins to go through various writings, going to libraries and doing close-up interviews with people like Juli and her aunt Barbara, who were into naval ships and the like, hence gathering a lot of information and articles to carry out more research.

She aimed to discover more about the ships that were said to be missing and determine their fate, especially the dey of reckoning and justice. I found the book interesting in general, especially when it came to the use of dialogue, more specifically the serious exchanges between Terrie and various other people she interacted with, hence setting her standards when it came to interacting with her.

The Old Corsair has been professionally edited with a few errors. Chapters have been used extensively, and a reader is guaranteed to enjoy the book to the ultimate end. The spacing and font were also friendly.

Michael DeStefano touches on the topic of persistence and consistency when it comes to pursuing something without fear of prejudice or even the taking of life itself. Peace still remains a sought-after cloud since the book talks of Islam and terrorism, something that cost the life of Terrie's sister Margaret, ironically in the pursuit of peace for all. 

I found nothing to dislike and rate the book 5 out of 5 stars for the professional editing, the great plot, and the remarkable finish, and I would recommend it to youth since they can relate to Terrie and Jack as they are of the same youth-like age, and their story is quite nice.
