Recommended: Sea adventure story essay

The book “Treasure Hunters” is written by James Patterson. The Kidd Family has grown up at sea treasure hunting all around the world. They find gold doubloons and other treasures with their parents, until they disappear on the job. The orphans have been thrown into the biggest treasure hunt of their lives; searching for their parents. Together, they sail the seven seas to find their parents and other treasure on their way. Every new discovery they find, it is one step closer to finding their parents. I enjoyed reading the book “Treasure Hunters”, one thing I would change is how the parents disappear. One strength for “Treasure Hunters” is the main character’s conflict/problem. The Kidd family lost their dad at sea and their mom in Cyprus.

I am interested in this topic because of the book We All Fall Down which is written by Eric Walters, is based on the true event which happened on September 11, 2001. I think the author chose a very good topic, the 11/09/2001 terrorists attack. Which made this book very interesting and exciting. The author starts his book with a thoughtful note “For those who perished, and those who went on” I found this quote very touching because it’s summarizes the event which happened during the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. It seems for me that Eric Walters actually was there, and had written a story on the trues event. We All Fall down is a book about Will and his father trying
