Superb Tale for Young Readers

My daughter bought this book on our recent snow-bound trip to Quebec. Aside from Harry Potter she rarely reads. She was so enthusiastic about the Oak Island mystery that she read it aloud to the whole family upon our return. An excellent mystery that kept all of us on edge. Well written with excellent characterization. Higly recommended.

It keeps you wondering what's next!

After my children whizzed through the book they encourage me to read it, I was sure glad it did. I couldn't put the book down. Every time I thought I knew what was going to happen the story took a surprising turn. After reading the book was a good opportunity to my children go to the library and do a little research about the actual money pit. Now my kids are really excited to read the other book by JJ Pritchard, "Quest for the Pillars of Wealth (A Children's Guide to Growing Rich)." "Secret Treasures of Oak Island" come HIGHLY recommended!

When I got this book, I couldn't wait read it, I stayed up all night, and it was worth it! The book talks about the treasure of Oak Island not just the history but also a story about two kids who are trying to find the treasure. It's great for historians, people who love adventure, and people who just love a good story!So overall the storyline is enjoyable, and Mr. Pritchard should definately try his hand at some more children's books.
