Publisher's Synopsis
Fresh off his adventure beneath the Great Sphinx of Egypt, fourteen-year-old Lorton McCroy is itching for another quest. When his archaeologist uncle invites him to Nova Scotia to investigate the world-famous Oak Island Money Pit, Lorton can't say no-even if it means delaying his first summer job.
Armed with ancient maps, ground-penetrating radar scans, and a healthy dose of skepticism, Lorton joins his uncle and a gruff one-eyed guide to navigate the island's dangerous maze of tunnels. But centuries of treasure hunters have left booby traps, collapses, and curses in their wake. And the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes that they aren't alone underground.
From helicopter flyovers to claustrophobic cave crawls, Lorton must summon all his courage, cleverness, and first-aid know-how to survive. Is there really pirate gold buried beneath Oak Island-or is the true treasure the adventure itself?
The Treasure of Oak Island is a thrilling, old-school mystery-adventure perfect for fans of Indiana Jones, Percy Jackson, and classic archaeological tales.
