[Bruce Nordstrom · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a quick, interesting read for a grown-up and I am certain children would like it. This story is a bit frustrating though. Leaves too many questions unanswered. Who were the pirates? Why did they bury the gold? I was left with the feeling the second shoe never fell.
