An unexpected trip to Oak Island leads Joel and Emma on a mysterious treasure hunt.

Joel and Emma never expected to spend the summer searching for untold millions in gold and jewels on famous Oak Island. But soon after their adventurer uncle Jake telephones them in British Columbia to ask for their help with the excavations, they're in the air flying to the coast of Nova Scotia.

Exploring the island on their bikes, Joel and Emma find intriguing hints of the treasure's whereabouts: an ancient rock painting and cryptic Latin inscriptions. When a mysterious old man appears and gives them one final clue, they're sure they have all the pieces of the Oak Island puzzle. But as Uncle Jake's dig starts to fall apart, they have to race to put the pieces together in time.

Set against the background of one of the most famous treasure hunts of all time, The Secret Treasures of Oak Island is the action-packed story of a summer quest for pirate gold.
