In the latest, fifth book in the North Sea Detectives series, Emma and Lucas Janssen become treasure hunters. Along the way, they also help the police catch two escaped convicts.

The morning after a storm surge, while walking with her brother Lucas along the mudflats, Emma finds an old bottle covered in shells. Inside the bottle is a letter mentioning gold and jewels hidden on an island. The next day, the radio reports sensational news: a shipwreck has been discovered on Norddeich beach! The brother and sister realize that these events are connected and begin an investigation. Suddenly, the children have competition: escaped convicts Karmen and Dyl are sneaking onto the ship and get their hands on a map showing where the treasure is buried. Whether a pirate treasure really exists and who will get to it first is revealed in the fifth book in the North Sea Detectives series.

Red-haired Emma and Lucas Janssen are observant, clever, and fearless children. And they complement each other perfectly. And the fact that they are still children only helps them sneak into places that not every adult would dare to go.

A captivating plot, charming characters, witty illustrations, and an excellent translation by Pavel Frenkel guarantee that a child will read the book from cover to cover without putting it down.

Recommended for children of primary school age.
