Jake Potter, now 12, is on his way to spend the summer with his grandmother and his best friends Macon and Lovie at Dewees Island. It was hard to keep in touch over the whole school year with letters and texts. Jake never knew what to write. It was awkward. Last year they had a great mission, saving baby turtles. Jake is determined that this year they will have another great mission. His dad always tells about all the fun he had in his tree fort on the island. It was built in the biggest tree. The directions to the tree are quite specific and Jake is sure the three of them can find it. Maybe they will find old pirate treasure too? Some people claim to have found some treasure on the island, so maybe Jake and his friends will find some too. Life isn't just sunshine and roses for Jake and his friends. Some new boys are on the island and the adults like them, but Jake and his friends are being bullied by them. Jake hopes he can find the treasure and make his dad happy again.
I was so excited to see this book in my box. I loved the first book. This one does not disappoint. Tell the kids about this book and I think they will like it. Maybe boys will like it more than girls. My grandson loved the first book and is eagerly waiting for this one. The characters are strong and very realistic. The setting is real and the adults give the kids a lot of freedom to explore by themselves. It is a small island, so it would be hard to get lost or get to any harm without being found quickly. I loved both Treasure Island Books and look forward to more adventures with Jake, Macon and Lovie. All three children have personal problems in their families. Together they are stronger, they can talk about their problems and help each other find solutions.
