Steve, Matt, and Jenny always dreamed of becoming detectives. One day, their dreams become reality when they discover an ancient treasure map written by a pirate named Elias Darby over three hundred years ago.

As the trio begins their search for the treasure, they unknowingly attract the attention of an international jewel thief named Frank Alexander. When the investigation leads the three friends to a string of hidden caves filled with booby-traps, they are confronted by the jewel thief and his diabolical plan to force the kids to find the stone and give it to him. Given no choice, the detectives must brave the dangerous traps to find the hidden treasure and develop a plan to outsmart the jewel thief.
Excerpt
Suddenly, he felt his heart almost stop. Someone was whispering to him. His eyes popped open. “Who’s there?” he demanded.
Jumping up, he turned on the light. The room was empty. He listened again for the mysterious whispering, but the room was completely silent. Several deep breaths later, his heart rate finally started to calm down. As he reached over to turn off the lamp, he froze. The poem lay on his nightstand, open.
