This time, they aren't staying in a fancy hotel as they did in the Caymans...they are ushered to a small, rickety hut; but it does have a beach and the ocean in the backyard. Oh, well, camping in paradise might be fun. When the boys find a jar buried beneath the floor of the hut containing what appears to be an old treasure map, dated 1904, the adventure begins.

Mr. Stone takes the boys to a nearby island by canoe, where they come across signs that warn them off the island. The signs seem to be very old, and Max and Sam remember the rumors that the bounty from a bank robbery many years ago was hidden on an island. Their interest piqued, the boys decide to explore the island and find more trouble than they bargained for with a hair-raising chase scene that will take your breath away.

Connie Lee Berry continues the exciting series with compelling characters, fast action, and lots of laughs. The illustrations add visual impact to the story, and Berry includes history and interesting facts about the location, cool science projects and a poem in the back of the book.
