Peter, Haakon, and Niels search for gold in one of Bermuda's underwater caverns and have an encounter with a band of pirates.
Peter, Haakon, and Niels are in their last days of vacation at home in Bermuda before returning to school in England. They decide to look in a cave for lost pirate treasure and on their second trip, the boys find a small chest underwater. A hurricane crashes into the Bermuda coast while the boys are trying to retrieve the chest and they are stuck in the cave. Unfortunately, some American treasure hunters find the chest at the same time and want to claim it, too. While this should be a gripping story, it is parochial and predictable at all times. Families vacationing in Bermuda may enjoy the book, but the rest of us should plan on other vacation reading. 2001, Burd Street Press, $5.95. Ages 9 to 12. Reviewer: Wendy Pollock-Gilson

Gold for a Boat
Very cute series about Kat a girl who just started seeing "ghosts". Her mother is a medium and now that Kat has turned 13 she discovers that she has the same "gift". In addition she meets Jac a cello prodigy.
The book are charming and funny as each girl stuggles with the expectation of their particular gifts and the choices they want to make about accepting their talents. The girls don't realize this parallel, but the author sure does, but handles it with great subtlty.
Kat is a lot of fun and her voice is fun and fresh. I hope this series becomes several books long. I'd love to recommend this to lots of the girls who like to read and have it readily availible to them. This is a wonderful book, that beneath all the "hook" of supernatural abilities is really about friendship and discovering oneself. Masterfully done for the target age audience.
