School s out for the summer in Florida. For young Harley Cooper, that means endless days of adventure on the bays and cays around Pine Island. With his sea-going black lab, Hammerhead, by his side, Harley fishes the pristine waters for blue crab to help his mom make ends meet. When he hauls up an ancient treasure map one day, summer vacation explodes into a hunt for Spanish gold. A mysterious hermit, known only as Salt, steers Harley toward hidden doubloons with swashbuckling tales of the infamous pirate Gasparilla. But, does the hermit have reasons of his own? Or will nature have the final say when she sends a monster hurricane to hammer the coast? Harley Cooper explains it all in an action-packed diddie he calls The Last Pirate.

Review:
I purchased your book on Saturday afternoon at the Event Center and started it soon as I got home that evening. I could barely put it down. I finished it Sunday night just before midnight. I absolutely LOVE a book that keeps me reading and this one did. Even though it seems to be a kid's story, I cannot imagine an adult that would not enjoy it.
