From the Inside Flap:
In 1692, an earthquake buried an entire city full of pirate treasure! 300 years later the lost city and its wealth were found. But not all treasures have been found, many mysteries still remain. Learn about these fantastic true stories in this non-fiction Step 4! Treasure awaits you!
From Booklist:
Gr. 2-4. Even very young readers have heard tales of hidden treasure, and Donnelly relates accounts of real hunts for fabulous wealth to be gleaned from pirate stashes, sunken ships, religious offerings, and even train wrecks. Large print, ample but not overwhelming color illustrations, and a narrative style that communicates the excitement of the search together make this a book readers will find difficult to put down. An excellent choice for those looking for adventure stories as well as those who prefer nonfiction. Sheilamae O'Hara
