Treasure: The Oak Island Money Pit Mystery Unraveled
Three thirteen-year old boys meet by chance over their summer vacations in a small and boring seaport village in Nova Scotia. They become friends by necessity; end up searching for pirate treasure and trying to solve the 250 -year old mystery of the Oak Island Money Pit. Seth Goldstein is the wimpy but super- intelligent son of a powerful New York City attorney. Jake Harris is a muscular, football fanatic from an oil family in Horseshoe Bay, Texas and Rob Harmon is a troubled, long-haired surfer kid from San Diego.One day while taking a short cut through and alley they are approached by a homeless man who makes them an unusual and speculative offer- a treasure map! Although highly suspicious the boys accept the man's deal. The deal as it turns out will take them on a quest through nearly five-hundred years of history, from the Spanish Conquistadors, to the American Revolution to present day.

*3.5
The adventure begins with an ancient collection of Incan riches: stolen, coveted, and lost in the sands of time. Is the treasure real or merely a myth? Rumor has linked this valued prize to the mysterious Oak Island in Nova Scotia. For more than 200 years, treasure hunters have sought the riches and the fame that comes with its discovery, but none have prevailed.
Now, three teenage boys find themselves in possession of a so-called treasure map with clues to the prize's secret location. What better way to fill the endless days of summer vacation than a pirate adventure? But how can three unlikely teens ever succeed when experienced treasure hunters have failed?
Treasure, by Lassiter Stone, seeks to answer those questions and more. In this young adult historical fiction novel, I enjoyed the author's ability to create an exciting treasure hunt out of the mystery surrounding the Oak Island Money Pit...

Do you remember being thirteen with a youthful, adventurous spirit?
Do you remember taking a break from reality to dive into a cold Winter day curled up in the warmth of a blanket with a book that you can’t put down and took you a day, maybe two to read?
Well, I temporarily stepped away to escape to age thirteen and read an exciting adventure and page-turner which amplifies the intrigue of Oak Island, an interest of mine.

I really enjoyed this book. I’m a huge fan of the PBS series and Lassiter Stone nails it with a nail-biting narrative of thirteen-year old boys who finally unravel the mystery of The Oak Island money pit and find more than pirate treasure!
