An auction
bid presents an old suitcase with cross-swords and a skull, so, naturally Steve
bids on it. It turns out that there was an old map hidden in there of The Grim
Reaper's Mine. Suddenly, the Decoders must configure the cryptic poem and seek
the answers behind the mysterious papers.
Could there
still be gold in that old mine?
Through
research ,the kids find out the legend of The Magic Sapphire and the power it
supposedly gives to whoever owns it. Interesting. Only a good person can find
the stone. A real live treasure hunt!
Can they
find the treasure before the jewel thief does?
This is
another fun adventure book. It seems like these kids are always figuring out a
code and going on a treasure hunt, making most of the books in the series
pretty much the same. The bulk of the story is the actual decoding―going line
by line, analyzing each lame text, to figure out the special meaning.
Still, these
kids are smart and witty, and young readers will enjoy this little tale.
My rating: 3.5 stars
