At once a heart-wrenching tale of found family and a thrilling, atmospheric mystery that keeps you guessing at every page, Ally Carter's middle grade debut is a triumph.

"So so so good! Gosh do I love a good middle grade mystery and this one is full of intrigue and action. The kids are all heartwarming and the family they build is beautiful. This is definitely a great book for kids, but also a really fun book for parents to read aloud. This book is full of treasure, missing persons, a sunken ship, and hidden passages. I am greatly looking forward to the second book."
