It was excellent matey! ( )

This book was pretty good, but the plot was very predictable.  The boxcar children find a piece of a famous local pirate's treasure map and go on a treasure hunt.  Others try to stop them, but their good nature helps them persevere.  I did like the small twist the author added regarding the treasure itself.  That added a little interest and bumped it up to a 3 star rating. Otherwise it probably would have been a 2 star because even a child could figure everything out with minimal brain-stretching. ( )
