The first book for younger readers by bestselling middle-school author Doug Wilhelm , Treasure Town centers on three kids -- one Latino, one African-American, one white -- who are determined to find the legendary buried treasure of Jean Lafitte, King of the Pirates in the 19th century Gulf of Mexico. With a page-turning, often hilarious story and great illustrations by Sarah-Lee Terrat, Treasure Town is a first chapter book that can help first through third graders become confident, joyful readers. It also tells a lot about old-time American pirates, with a map and word list at the start and nonfiction "reports" by two of the main characters at the end.
