About This Book

A band of adventurous boys recover part of an old cipher and a map tied to a pirate treasure, then set off through islands, coral keys, and the Everglades to follow the clues. Along the way they confront local superstition and a voodoo woman, decode messages, encounter modern pirates and buccaneers, survive shipwreck and being marooned, and mount daring rescues and plans. The episodic chapters combine mystery and action with treasure‑hunting puzzles, testing the boys’ resourcefulness, courage, and loyalty as the hidden hoard and the pirate’s message are gradually uncovered.
