Three siblings, Simon, Jane, and Barney, are vacationing with their parents and mysterious great-uncle, Merry, along the coast in Cornwall. By accident they discover an ancient map. Other individuals want this map and relentlessly pursue the children. Very exciting story. The ending is not totally conclusive. The story has only begun ...
Ms. Cooper writes superbly-from word choice to sentence structure, grammar, and to character and plot development.
My thirteen-year-old started reading the second book and did not like it as much. My sister-in-law has read the series and says the other books are odder and not as compelling. Five books make up the series.
*Highly recommend.
