About this book
A small island in Greenville Sound, near Wilmington, North Carolina, holds the secret at the center of this treasure tale. Jonathan Landstone's family account describes Captain Kidd bringing two iron chests ashore by moonlight and placing Captain John Redfield in charge of protecting their hiding place. Oaths, a signet and the promise of a return make the buried wealth a matter of trust as well as temptation.
The story then brings the island's legend into the world of curious boys. Two strangers camping near the sound give familiar local rumors a new urgency, and the boys plan to approach them while pretending to have stopped by chance. Andrew Jackson Howell connects pirate adventure with the excitement of watching, guessing and seeking a share in a secret.
