Book #8 in the Mermaid Tales series
Merkids seek treasure on a haunted pirate ship. Are the ghosts real?
Pearl and her friends, Rocky and Wanda, embark on a daring quest to find a legendary pirate treasure. Guided by a mysterious seaweed scroll, they venture past Whale Mountain to an abandoned ship rumored to be haunted by ghostly pirates. As eerie sounds echo from the depths, the merkids must confront their fears. Are the ghosts real, and can they claim the jewels before danger strikes? Dive into this thrilling adventure where courage and curiosity collide beneath the waves.
The merkids hunt for hidden treasure in this Mermaid Tales adventure! When Rocky finds a seaweed scroll that describes an abandoned pirate ship bursting with jewels, the students are tripping over their tails with excitement. There’s only one problem: the treasure is supposedly guarded by pirate ghosts! But a few “silly ghosts” aren’t going to keep prima donna Pearl away from fame, fortune, and “diamonds as big as a merman’s fist.” The hunt is on! Pearl recruits fellow merkids Rocky and Wanda to help her track down the treasure by swimming all the way past Whale Mountain. But when they discover the pirate ship, they hear eerie moans and groans coming from within. What’s making those sounds? Could the pirate ghosts be real? And can the merkids get the jewels before becoming someone’s–or something’s–lunch?
