Description: David Lassiter is a somewhat typical thirteen-year-old boy with an active imagination. His imaginations and dreams are of pirates, sailboats, and hidden treasure. Although he realizes that all these dreams are just dreams, he never expected they could come true until his adventurous spirit got the best of him. His regular friends, best friend, and girl best friend share his adventures. He contracts the inevitable “girl thing” disease, and suffers its symptoms in the most distracting ways. He also faces moral and social dilemmas, along with his observations of human behavior. Coming from a broken family, David is shipped off to Florida to live with his Great Uncle Stephen because his mother is not able to afford to keep him. In Florida David encounters a key opportunity that changes his future in a dramatic way. A sailboat named “Seabird”, a pirate named Gunter Christian, a girl, and a hidden treasure left by the pirate Molas during his forty year pirate reign on the Yucatan peninsula in the seventeenth century, changes David’s life forever.
