The Smugglers Treasure

 Summary: 11 year old Elisabet is sent away to live with her relatives in New Orleans during the War of 1812. While there she begins to hear stories and uncover secrets about a smuggler’s treasure, and soon she is determined to find it to free her imprisoned father.

My Review: These books are super underrated! I got the first couple books and read them pretty quick because they aren’t very long, but the mysteries are good, and the books are clean. I recommend for ages 11+.

My Takeaway: This is the story of a brave young girl facing an unknown world and trying to be at home. Parents might want to be aware that some scenes are rather intense and mildly dark, with believed sightings of a ghost.

Nudity: None.

Language: None.

Alcohol/drugs/smoking: None.

Violence: Light, a ship boarded and the passengers stolen from.

Darkness: Light, the old ghost tale, a night time chase, some eerie scenes.

Stars: 3
