The Secret of Sinbad's Cave
language
( Jan. 11, 2015)
In the remote jungle of New Zealand, an old man waits. Some say he is a wizard. Others believe him to be cursed. Abraham lifts his head and watches the sky. It is almost time.
In her lair far away, Drake pours over ancient charts. The McGuire Cache, full of the world's secrets, is close. She drums her fingers on the desk. Her teams have been dispatched to Waitomo Caves to find the cache and the Sinbad treasure. She smiles. Let the old man try and stop her now.
In the high country above Waitomo, a weary farmer sits down with his three children and breaks the news that's been coming for months. The family farm is broke and going on the market.
Nat, Jack and Kathleen stare at their Dad. The world of Nat Sheppard, almost 14, turns upside down. Her little sister climbs onto the roof to see the view one last time and crashes into the attic, discovering a secret room. Inside is an unopened letter to Nat's great, great grandmother, a copy of Sinbad the Sailor, and two cave maps with clues to an ancient treasure.
Drake looks up suddenly. Something's different.
Abraham stands. Finally, the wheels are in motion.
It doesn't look good for Nat and her friends when they're pitted against Drake's gang of ruthless treasure hunters. Abraham has magic and history on his side, but will that be enough?
The Secret of Sinbad's Cave is a non-stop adventure through a mythical imagining of New Zealand history.
