The Steamer Trunk Adventures #1

Hunter has just completed the fourth grade and is not looking forward to spending another boring summer hanging around the house. When his beloved grandfather, Captain Mike, sails into town, toting his mysterious steamer trunk, Hunter quickly formulates a plan. He stows away in the trunk, and the two begin an adventurous sailing trip filled with peril and excitement. Unwittingly, they stumble across a nefarious plan to smuggle endangered tortoises from the Galapagos Islands. The Trunk and the Tortoise is the first book of The Steamer Trunk Adventures, a highly entertaining and educational series for children, filled with some of the most interesting creatures and loveable characters in the world.
