The EcoExplorers, a young adult adventure club, travel to Andros Island in the Bahamas for a weeklong marine biology course at Rockwood Field Station. Scuba diving and snorkeling are at the top of their agenda, but the itinerary quickly takes a new direction when shady characters are encountered, a captain’s log and manifest are discovered, and the mystery of pirate treasure wash the story in intrigue.

John Dettor, a local diver, marine archaeologist, explorer and historian with an agenda of his own, invites the students to pursue the pirate’s booty with him “under the guise of a scientific survey,” and soon they are racing against ruthless treasure hunters to discover the buried riches of the notorious 18th century pirate, Benjamin Hornigold.

Get set for gripping, non-stop action as The Legend of Hornigold’s Treasure builds to a climax on the high seas. This is a story for thrill-seekers of all ages.
