Thought you might like to read a few lines from, Johnny Vic's Plymouth Adventures . . . to be released in the near future. In this scene, a Vermont student who (in real life) won second place in the Calvin Coolidge Essay Contest, gets accidentally transported back to 1927 with Johnny Vic while he's searching the Coolidge Homestead grounds.
"Lost treasure, here I come!" Patrick exclaimed. He finally had the chance to look for the lost treasure that Ernest had told him about--lost treasure that was hidden near the Calvin Coolidge Homestead. When he realized the Homestead was near the site of the treasure (according to Ernest, the old man next door) he talked his parents into renting a cottage near the historic site. His dad was so happy to see his son's enthusiastic interest in history, he found the cabin right away. And Patrick? He was finally free to get extra credit for school and to explore the countryside for Captain Jasper's long lost loot! According to Ernest, Captain Jasper was the last real pirate to plunder the American coastline. He had stolen a fortune in jewels and gold from the Princess Penelope, and while some of the treasure had been recovered, the fabulous pearl necklace dubbed "Princess Penelope's Precious Pearls" had never been found. "It's waiting for me," Patrick said. "All of it! The pearls and the gold!"
