Saltwater Taffy

January 20, 2011

Do you like treasure hunts? Do you like a great adventure and shocking betrayals?  Then you should definitely read Saltwater Taffy by Eric DelaBarre!  This action-packed novel will even get you looking for buried treasure in your own backyard.  Once I picked it up, I didn't put want to put it down until I finished it!  I loved this book and really enjoyed reading it!

We received a copy of the book, published 1/11/11 and this book is perfect for young adults and middle grades.  Your tween will love it!  Endorsed by Teachers of the Year around the country, DelaBarre’s Saltwater Taffy follows the lives of five friends as they uncover a treasure map that once belonged to the ruthless New Orleans pirate, Jean Lafitte. The discovery thrusts them from one treasure hunting adventure to the next as they try to out-wit, out-think and out-maneuver everyone from the one-legged junk-yard man and an overbearing town bully, to the creepy old man living at the top of the hill. Saltwater Taffy is a race to-the-finish adventure that grabs the reader and never lets go.

You can purchase the book online or at your local bookstore.
