Cayman Gold
“Cayman Gold is a well crafted adventure with meticulous attention to accuracy in detail and highly recommended reading for teens and young adults.” James Cox, Editor-in-Chief, Children’s Bookwatch
Thrust into a race for lost Spanish Treasure, four teenagers rely on their courage and scuba diving skills to survive. Sinister international forces plot to destroy a natural barrier reef in order to stake claim to gold doubloons and Colombian emeralds hidden for nearly 400 years.
Amid the exotic waters and beaches of the Cayman Islands, this tale conveys an exciting mix of pirates, strange and timeless creatures of the sea, and the hospitable peoples of the Caribbean. Fast boats, mini-subs, undersea scooters, hurricanes, and even teen romance accentuate the fast tempo of this techno-thriller, the first in a seriesThe MacGregor family’s respect for life and the sanctity of the environment, along with their thirst for adventure, drive the teens through a series of challenging and surprising events.
i am using this book as a required novel in my science class since one of our main areas of focus is atmosphere/storms.
i was wondering if there are any suggested questions or activities that could complement the story – emphasizing weather or atmosphere.
thank you
