Publisher's Synopsis
Legendary buccaneers need a youngster's help to find a long lost treasure! It's like if the Pirates of the Caribbean let loose to search Disneyland!
Ages ago, Greybeard hid his treasure chest from fellow swashbucklers. Ever since, the beautiful Captain and her infamous Corsairs have searched for it, but their map missed the key piece. Tonight Redlocks recruits Greybeard's descendant, young Baltazar, to help locate the long-lost riches. The boy leads the way, but now the bustling amusement park Treasure Island sits atop the buried booty. Join the crew of the flying Cutlass (a legendary cast that includes Hook, Long John Silver, and Black Bart) on a roller coaster to discover where "x" marks the spot. Can Baltazar help them strike pay dirt before their tickets expire?
Pirate lovers and their parents will get a kick out of this action-packed tale, illustrated by a professional animator who worked on the TV series Speed Racer: The Next Generation. Join this motley crew as they hop aboard exciting theme park rides: from the log water slide and ship pendulum to carnival games and the ferris wheel. Kids will enjoy this adventure since it combines the fun memories of summer vacations with the timeless pleasure of a treasure hunt.
