This is a wonderful book, written be Arthur Ransome. It is about Swallow (a boat), and four children, Captain John, Mate Susan, Able-seaman Titty and the boy Roger. While camping on a dessert island, they meet the Amazon Pirates, Captian Nancy and Mate Peggy Blackett, and find themselves in the middle of a war between the Swallows and Amazons. When that is over, they find themselves in another war against Captain Flint, a retired pirate who has become quite 'native'.
Note: There are lots of nautical terms in this book, so you must know that you may not be able to understand what they are saying unless you know a lot about sailing and boats.
