About the book
Jeff and Uncle Roy prepare are researching for a diving expedition in a library, and young Jeff finds what appears to be a pirates map to the shipwreck they want to find. Is it a real map, or just a fanciful decoration? This book is great for young readers. The chapters are short, and there are lots of great pictures. There are a few higher level words to help build vocabulary and pronunciation, but not too many to be frustrating.
