MS, HS- ESSENTIAL

Nick McIver has always loved adventure. His family lives on Greybeard Island, in the English Channel. It is 1939 and the English are suspecting German activity off the shore of the island. While Nick is on one of his boat trips, he spots a German submarine. Another day he spots an old chest on a sandy shore; for some odd reason, it was addressed to him. He decides to hide it Hawke Island, an island supposedly abandoned by its previous owner Lord Hawke. They were wrong. Lord Hawke was still living on the island; observing German activity just like Nick's father. When Nick and his friends open the chest with Lord Hawke, they couldn't believe their eyes. That object started the adventure.

What is inside that chest? Read to find out! It was mysterious; you really wanted to find out what would happen next. The book thrilled your mind and added to your thirst for adventure.
