Oak Island Revenge

Jonah is fourteen and lives on the Western Shore of Nova Scotia in 1958. He and his best friend, Beaz, have figured out a way to get to the forbidden Oak Island to seek treasure. They find a gold locket down one of the treasure shafts and can’t believe their luck—until they realize that the locket is not pirate’s booty but possibly evidence in a current murder investigation, one which Jonah already knows more about than he can handle. Beaz is in danger from his abusive mother if she finds out he’s gone to Oak Island, so Jonah keeps the secret even though there is a killer at large in his small community.

Oak Island Revenge is a coming-of-age story, with much higher stakes than most teenagers have to contend with.

Oak Island Revenge

Oak Island Revenge
By: Cynthia d’Entremont
It’s 1958 and Jonah Morgan is planning to use his summer to go treasure hunting on Oak Island with his best friend Beasley (Beaz) Hodder. They have been planning this since they found out that Beaz’s strict and abusive Mom is leaving town for a bit as his Grandma is sick. It is the last day of school and they are about to head off to Oak Island on their homemade boat, the Gingerale, when Jonah remembers he left his lunch pail at school. He heads back to school when he is stopped by Marshall the school bully. Marshall hands a note to Jonah and tells him to deliver it to their teacher, Mr. Steevens, but not to read it or else! Well like any 14 year old boy he reads the following “I know about YOU and HER!” Out of shock Jonah drops the note in the teacher’s car before he heads inside the school. With his pail in hand Jonah is heading back out of the school when he over hears Mr. Steevens talking to one of his classmates, Charlotte. Charlotte is the prettiest and most popular girl in the school. Mr. Steevens offers Charlotte a drive home and just like that they jump into his car and drive off. Jonah eventually meets up with Beaz and off they sail to Oak Island for the day. Disappointed the boys return home empty handed but the town is in chaos as Charlotte has disappeared. Jonah is now caught in web of lies as he is trying to keep his adventure to Oak Island a secret even though he is the last person to see Charlotte alive!
The book was very good. It had a great story line and it had me hooked! I didn’t even solve the mystery and was shocked by the books ending. I did feel there was some boring parts of the story line that felt like filler and unnecessary. Overall I rate this book a 4/5.

I recommend this book.
