A long-lost emerald, a missing treasure map, and a wealthy villain combine for an action-packed adventure!
Thirteen-year-old Noah Winter, the son of sea-exploring treasure hunters, dives the San Isabel shipwreck with his parents in search of a mysterious treasure map lost in the murky depths off the Florida Keys over a century ago. The map reveals the hiding place of the priceless De La Rosa emerald. But before the Winters can find the map, a wealthy treasure-hunting rival kidnaps Noah's parents.
Now Noah must match wits with a dangerous adversary, not only to discover the treasure map first, but to rescue his mom and dad before it's too late. Readers' Favorite 5 Star Review: The Emerald Quest is a well written, exciting story that preteens and young adults who love the adventure and mystery genres will snap up. They will easily identify with Noah, as he is just like any other 13-year-old boy who would rather explore than do his homework, and who finds pirates, buried treasure, and mysterious bad guys to be wildly exciting. The book will grip readers from the first page and leave them waiting impatiently for the next undersea adventure that befalls Noah and his family!Author Biography
