Pieces of Eight

By Bruce Leaf

After a hurricane roars over his Caribbean island home, young Skylar Brocklin goes for a walk on the beach and finds a gold coin in the sand. The doubloon fires his imagination and need for adventure, and he begins a hunt for sunken treasure. Helping him on his quest is an old mountaineer named Jack Bonnier, better known among the islanders as Mad Jack, who has come to the island to relax and drink away the memories of his friends who died on the world's highest mountains. As Skylar and Mad Jack search the ocean, their friendship grows, uncovering a lifetime of buried memories in the process.
