I stumbled on to this site looking for a good book to read myself. and honestly, even though these are kids books they sound really interesting and original. thanks, for sharing! who knew such an interesting series existed!
When I was a child, I love reading a series by Enid Blyton – the Adventure series. There was the Island of Adventure, Sea of Adventure, and many more. And I loved them all!
This treasure hunter series sounds like right up my alley. Lost treasure, sailing the seas, exploring the world. I can see myself reading and being a part of this other world.
And I would love to introduce this to my 7 year old niece. She is starting to explore novels, and I believe this would be an ideal choice. Thank you for sharing this. I look forward to buying the first book and sharing it with my niece.
Ok… your post makes the series sound so interesting and exciting. When I was younger, I loved to read all of the books in particular series. I have no doubt that this particular series would have been on my “To Read” list.
Thi is a very informative piece Tracy, I must confess that I’m not very much into novels and fiction but you have add this series so attractive. The clarity with which you have brought out the themes of the series make it very easy to follow. The age bracket of the kids when they were left with their parents is unclear and makes one very anxious about how they could face all that danger and survive. Your writing makes the series very thrilling and I think I will create time to go through it.
So, yes, this a nice piece and it ha really encouraged me to consider this series
Thanks Tracy
Hi there, I’ve been browsing all of the wonderful books you have posted here and I would love to start my christmas shopping by getting a few of these titles for my grand kids. The grandkids mother decided to get them a Kindle reader, so it wiill be great if they come in a digital version. However, I still think you can’t beat the hard versions so might go for those instead anyway.
Great books to recommend. Gets youngsters thinking and maybe adults too

Thanks for the brief but insightful review into this series. I’ve not read James Patterson’s work but you make this series worth exploring.
