When a friendly shopkeeper spins a sordid tale of pirate legend on their first day of vacation, Noah dismisses it as nothing more than a thrilling tale. Yet, following his souvenir treasure map through the Caribbean rain forest in pursuit of the elusive “X” sounds like a fun way to spend a day in paradise. Little does he know the pursuit could change his life forever. Because as he and his sister and best friend inch closer to the treasure, the unimaginable might just become reality. And if it does, can the kids defy the odds and escape with their lives? Follow this unforgettable adventure of three unlikely sleuths, filled with fast-paced thrills and tropical island fun. Recommended for ages 9-12. No graphic violence or language. "...Pirate shipwrecks, buried treasures, vindictive ghosts, and buried treasure make this an exciting fictional story for middle grade and younger teens to enjoy. (Kids who are) old enough not to try this in real life but also old enough to enjoy an “Indiana Jones” adventure. "Shana Gorian is a master storyteller. This fast-paced adventure has all the right ingredients for a memorable read - great setting, characters, mystery, and a wonderful plot." ~Amazon reviewsShow book
