Critics Review
Florida’s Sunshine State Young Readers Award Grades 6-8 Shortlist SelectionA Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
“Rodriguez packs a ton of local historical know-how and genuine humor into a seaworthy debut adventure. Lighthearted yet solid prose and quirky, delightful characters round out this swell tale of plucky fun under (and above) the sea. Here be treasure indeed.” –Kirkus Reviews“Hits the mark with prickly characters, clues to a lost treasure, scuba diving, and blacktip sharks and barracudas … The author weaves in a strong sense of reverence for Floridian natural elements and marine life. The characters’ Cuban heritage is also worked into the plot, and Spanish is seamlessly sprinkled throughout … A high-octane middle grade adventure for fans of James Ponti’s City Spies.” –School Library Journal “Real hurricane history and a hunt for sunken treasure–this book is gold!” –Alan Gratz, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Two Degrees
“S.A. Rodriguez’s dazzling debut is an ocean adventure complete with sunken treasure, sharks, familial bonds, and cultural links that lead the reader down the path to discovering where the true treasure really lies.” –Pablo Cartaya, award-winning author of The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamor
