Sam, Tony, and Tyler are convinced that they will be the ones to dig up the next great find. They meet a crusty sea captain named Jack who's fixing up an impossible looking old tub. What is Captain Jack's mysterious secret? And what is he really planning to do with that boat? This is the second book in the Sam Cooper Adventures.

Fun Adventure Story About the Meaning of Treasure,
By
This review is from: Captain Jack's Treasure (Paperback)
Sam and his friends Tony and Tyler are at it again. This time they're looking for treasure, especially when Sam's dad surprises him with a metal detector. Sam begins to research treasure and treasure hunting in the area along the coast where he lives. When the boys meet Captain Jack and begin to get his rickety old boat seaworthy again, Sam is convinced the Captain plans to search for treasure--and leave them out of the picture. But, when things in Sam's life take an unexpected turn, he learns what things he truly treasures. Suspense and surprises abound, along with lots of Captain Jack sea-tales.

Captain Jack's Treasure,
By
This review is from: Captain Jack's Treasure (Paperback)
Sam Butler lives right beside the ocean on the Treasure Coast of Florida. And all he has heard about since he moved there has been about the fabulous treasures that have been found--and those that are still waiting to be discovered. Sam and his two friends are convinced they will be the next to find a big treasure. Especially when Sam is given a top of the line metal detector for his birthday. When they meet a crusty old sea captain named Jack, they're told that Jack knows all there is to know about treasures. So the boys try to get to know Captain Jack. Captain Jack has purchased an old boat that is hardly seaworthy. And he hires on Sam and his friends to help him fix up the boat. The three boys dream of going out treasure hunting on Captain Jack's boat...but what is Captain Jack's secret he seems to be hiding/ And does he really know anything about treasures? CAPTAIN JACK'S TREASURE is book two in the Sam Cooper Adventure series by Max Elliot Anderson. Mr. Anderson is an adventure writer for boys--especially boys that are reluctant readers. I can vouch that his books make reluctant readers sit up and take notice--and that they will read these books from cover to cover. I had two reluctant readers when they were young, and now both of these boys are in college and they both still enjoy Mr. Anderson's books. My oldest son tells me, "They're exciting, Mom." And my youngest son says, "These are books that once you start them you can't put them down, you have to keep reading." I read this book for purpose of review, and it is a very exciting story. The boys are looking for fun and adventure, and they find it. Not only that, but Captain Jack is full of tales of pirates and treasures and phantoms haunting ships and lighthouses. CAPTAIN JACK'S TREASURE is a book that will appeal to juvenile boys and older. Girls will like these books too. If you have a reluctant reader, be sure to pick up any of Max Elliot Anderson's books. You'll be glad you did. Instructions are included tying sailors' knots. This book was provided by the author for purpose of review.

Fun adventure novel for boys,
By
This review is from: Captain Jack's Treasure (Paperback)
Our family reviewed this title through a book tour (Day by Day in Our World) and were really pleased with what a great adventure novel for young boys this is. Beyond the fun, this book is a safe bet for kids to read. Nothing offensive popped out at me, which is something I can't say for other modern reading choices for kids.
