For thousands of years, criminals called pirates have taken to the sea to hijack boats, steal valuable goods, and take hostages.

Today's pirates are more advanced than ever before, able to quickly overtake huge ships using powerful weapons and high-tech communication devices. Readers (Grades 3-5) will find out what effect piracy has on the world today and what government and law enforcement agencies around the world are doing to stop it.
