A quick, exciting story again of Gary Paulsen. I really enjoyed this story from the start. It was easy to read and had a lot of adventure. So if you haven't got anything to do this weekend....

I love these books. They’re such fun short reads. This is a great one about treasure hunting while scuba diving. Fantastic.
