"His head is missing?" Michele asked. "Whose head?" When the answer turns out to be Blackbeard, the fiercest pirate of all, four kids set off on a real adventure in North Carolina's real pirate haunt port town of Bath. While struggling to recover a special prop and save an outdoor drama, the kids learn about the Golden Age of Piracy from Maine to Florida up and down the American coast. They also learn a lot of history, solve a mystery, meet a legend, and much more! They have a lot of Jolly Roger laughs! But do they find the treasure? Hmm, would they tell? Avast! This mystery is a treasure trove of fun!
