Beyond The Reef

Chris and his parents moved to Key West. Chris and his father became treasure divers. Chris' Mother was tired of living in Key West so she went back to Flintville where they used to live. She left because she was around at home all day while Chris and his Dad were out looking for treasure. They lived there for 5- years life was very hard for them. But they found some exciting treasure while living in Key West. They found a 17th century anchor and gold and silver coins from a Spanish galleon called the Sevillia. So that forced them to go to Seville, Spain. There they found some more information about the Sevillia in Legajos. Then they came back to Key West and told everyone about the Sevillia. Do I or do I not agree with the author? Well I would say yes I agree with him. Because I like the way he writes his stories. Mr. Strasser makes you feel like you are in the story. It sounds so true. Because when people go look for treasure they sell it rght away. Some people give but they waited for weeks but they still got thier treasure. If I found something special underwater then I would keep it somewhere safe. Would I or would I not recommend this book,and who would I recommend it to? Yes, I would recommend it to people who like underwater adventure.
