Is there a secret tunnel on Dead Chest Island?
Sitting beside a smokey fire, Edison and his new friend Jonathan hear a curious tale of pirate plunder and a boy who is violently swept into an underwater tunnel on Dead Chest Island.
Is the tunnel really there and where does it lead? Edison and Jonathan devise a crazy scheme to borrow a boat and search for the tunnel.
Edison’s loudmouth sister, Charlotte, is a vexing last-minute participant in the quest. They set off on a sunny afternoon, planning to return in time for supper. But the boat motor sputters and dies, triggering an amazing chain of events.
Find out how the three adventurers deal with a treacherous tidal wave, shadowy dolphinbots, puzzling petroglyphs, secret submarines, a mysterious crystal, and a seriously evil band of spies.
