"Only boring people get bored…Interesting people can always find something to be interested in."
That’s what Tom Trelawney’s father says, anyway. Tom shouldn’t have been interested in playing with matches but he was...bored. Now the shed is in ashes and strange Uncle Harvey is the only one willing to have him stay while his parents vacation
Tom soon discovers Harvey is going to South America on a treasure hunt and though nephews aren’t invited, he manages to tag along. Before it’s over he’ll drive a car, fire a gun and run for his life. Tom realizes that life may be about following the rules, but survival may be about breaking them.

This book is amazing! I never want to put it down. The reason I like it is it's an action-packed adventure. I can't wait to finish it and read Sultan's Tiger. I'm about to get back to reading it right now. For real!
You should read this book.I love this book.
i love this book because it has a lot of action in it and i love a lot of action
Page turner for boys and girls alike! Tom spends a weekend in Peru with his crazy Uncle Harvery, running away from Otto Gonzalez, the finger cutting crook. Car chase scenes and mountain top gun battles are contrasted with the search for Sir Francis Drake's gold on the coast of South America. Will Tom ever make it out of there? Will Harvey regret brining him along, or is Tom's clever thinking just the ticket to get them both home!
Great book! It is an adult-like book for children.
