Saturday morning is here, and it's time for a trip to the beach
With a bellyful of shrimp and grits, Nick and his mama head out to
Folly Beach in search of hidden treasure. Mama is looking for
seashells to decorate a mirror, but Nick is hoping to find
something more exciting, like a chest full of gold coins secretly
hidden by pirates. He searches for scribbled clues in the lettered
olive shells, while Mama tells him his favorite story-the one about
Morris Island Lighthouse, and why it sits so far out in the water.
Soon, it's time to play pirate, and Nick climbs to the top of a
driftwood tree with a spyglass in hand. From way up high, he spots
something in the surf that could be the treasure he's been looking
for. This object ends up being an important piece of local history,
and even more exciting than he imagined As educational as it is
entertaining, My Best Find...Ever is full of real-life references
to Charleston, South Carolina. Local students will love learning
facts about nearby landmarks and places, including the area's
association with the Civil War. For even more information, kids,
parents, and teachers will be able to scan QR codes embedded in the
book, a new technology that allows you to instantly open websites
on your smartphone, iPad, or other mobile device. From the Morris
Island Lighthouse to Civil War history, children will be able to
learn more fascinating facts by accessing informational websites
with the push of a button. This adventurous story is sure to spark
the curiosity of young readers in Charleston or anywhere else,
using an engaging tone and beautiful illustrations geared
specifically toward children ages five to ten. Ideally, readers
will want to reach out in search of their own local history...and
maybe find a treasure or two themselves
