Blast on the Beach - Paperback

by Katrina Hoover Lee (Author)

Secret riches and explosive danger. Can this young teen discover the power of following His example and embracing complete trust in God?

Corolla, NC, the 1980s. Gary Fitzpatrick can't wait to explore the beach. Thrilled to help his uncle run an ice cream parlor, he and his brothers are admonished by their grumpy downstairs neighbor who isn't about to put up with any noisy shenanigans. But when he heads to investigate a terrified whinny coming from the backyard, he finds one of the area's majestic horses caught in a chain with a tranquilizer dart stuck in its side.

Rewarded with a gruff friendship from the old local, the quick-witted teenager's imagination runs wild when the man pulls out a weathered treasure map. But as soon as he seeks an expert for an appraisal of the antique object, someone breaks in and steals the precious document.

Hunting for clues at the home and the lighthouse, can Gary expose the truth?
