Legendary buccaneers need a youngster's help to find a long lost
treasure! It's like if the Pirates of the Caribbean let loose to search
Disneyland!
Ages ago, Greybeard hid his treasure chest from fellow swashbucklers.
Ever since, the beautiful Captain and her infamous Corsairs have
searched for it, but their map missed the key piece. Tonight Redlocks
recruits Greybeard's descendant, young Baltazar, to help locate the
long-lost riches. The boy leads the way, but now the bustling amusement
park Treasure Island sits atop the buried booty. Join the crew of the
flying Cutlass (a legendary cast that includes Hook, Long John Silver,
and Black Bart) on a roller coaster to discover where "x" marks the
spot. Can Baltazar help them strike pay dirt before their tickets
expire?
Pirate lovers and their parents will get a kick out of this
action-packed tale, illustrated by a professional animator who worked on
the TV series Speed Racer: The Next Generation. Join this motley crew
as they hop aboard exciting theme park rides: from the log water slide
and ship pendulum to carnival games and the ferris wheel. Kids will
enjoy this adventure since it combines the fun memories of summer
vacations with the timeless pleasure of a treasure hunt.
I enjoyed the book immensely and found it utterly chARRRRRming! A dreamy
holiday for a wee pirate with some colorful swashbuckling characters! -
