Book Cover & Preview Text
I began to dig in the sand at the edge of the water, looking for precious jewels, Spanish doubloons and golden nuggets. This spot seemed a likely place for them to settle if they had been washed ashore from a shipwreck. I was so focused on my search that I did not notice the big wave growing larger, rolling faster, and rushing toward me.
Suddenly it struck and I lost my balance. As I tried to catch myself on the sand, I let go of my pirate. Rolling over on my knees in the rushing breaker, I reached for him, but he was not there. The wave had snatched him away from me. Frantically I fumbled through the moving water, but I could not see him. He was gone!
