Sam, Becky, and friends Troy, Andrew, and L.C. are doing their best to help the ghost of Stede Bonnet claim his “greatest treasure” before Blackbeard finds it. When the latest clue points them to the Smith Island Museum beside “Old Baldy,” the hunt moves to Bald Head Island at the corner of North Carolina’s Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean. There's just one problem. It’s Pirate Days on Bald Head, and everyone is...well, everyone is dressed like a pirate. Troy, Andrew, Sam, and Becky can’t always tell who is wearing a costume and who is a real pirate. Come along as the friends explore the Cape Fear region of North Carolina’s coast while helping Bonnet and avoiding Blackbeard. See how many treasure hunt riddles you can solve, and keep your fingers crossed that it’s enough to unlock the secret on Bald Head Island.
