The Story:
Molly Coolridge, a retired Englishwoman, receives a diary that tells how her husband’s ancestor was the captain of the British ship that sunk this Spanish treasure ship off Canada’s West Coast in 1811. He also told of a treasure on board. Could this be true? Had anyone found it yet? All questions she and her son ask themselves as they begin an archival search in England and Spain to attempt to get some answers. Amy, an outgoing history teacher from Victoria, BC, comes into their lives along with many other interesting characters as their search takes them to Continental Europe and finally to Barkley Sound in the Ucluelet area of Vancouver Island, Canada where they hope to find the ship … and perhaps some remaining treasure!

Utilizing some well-known facts concerning the Spanish and their recent claims to discovered treasure, the authors weave an entertaining tale of modern treachery, romance and mystery as two conniving factions ‘Race For A Treasure.’

With international and historical flavour, this delightful story and enjoyable characters is receiving rave reviews delighting both new readers and loyal fans (teen to adult). With ‘Treasure’ they have revived an earlier sense of drama and intrigue that appeared in the 4-book Lizzie Series which is set in the early 19th century England during the Napoleonic Wars.
