This third book in the Pyrate Series is about a boy named George and his four friends who find and follow a treasure map to Captain Kidd’s long lost treasure. In this book, The Dead Man’s Chest, George meets a boy, named Paul, who is homeless. Paul helps George and his friends try to find the treasure. But what they find are more map pieces which must be placed together in order to complete a full map. George and his friends try to find the treasure before the Thugs who are also looking for the treasure. George ends up finding out that the Thug leader was a seemingly friendly neighbor. He and the boys have to sail through underground lakes and escape numerous booby traps to find the third map piece. George has to separate from his crew because they fear that the trip is too dangerous. The only one that does not give up is Paul. George and Paul have to be even more careful now because it is down to just two of them. They bravely set out together in search of the treasure.

On a scale from one to ten I give this book a ten. This book is just as good as the first two and I just could not put it down. A great series!
