Friend or Foe?

Diama and Micel embark on a supposedly restful sea cruise but, given their track record of adventures, it's not surprising that nothing goes to plan. They find themselves being chased by pirates, nearly swept overboard by storms and searching for a mythical and fabulous buried treasure, thanks to a map which may, or may not, be authentic. The clues on the map are puzzling and mysterious, leading Diama, Micel and the map's owner – a crusty old sea Captain called ‘Mad Dog' – towards a series of deadly traps. Will they even survive to find anything? And what of the sailor, Stan Gulley, who was rescued from the middle of the ocean ? He certainly appears to have his eye on Micel, much to Diama's increasing annoyance, but is he a friend or a hidden enemy? Micel believes the latter, and following events prove her to be right, but not quite in the way she expects.
