ElsBeth and the Pirate's Treasure

Recipient of the prestigious Mom's Choice Award honoring excellence. When Halloween approaches, a never-quite-forgotten pirate's treasure awakens some serious trouble in the sleepy Cape Cod town. ElsBeth Amelia Thistle, who happens to be the youngest witch on the Cape, and her friend Johnny Twofeathers, chief-to-be of the local Wampanoag tribe -- together with a cast of spirited classmates and curious magical creatures (including two troublesome fairies from the old country) -- must face off against dangerous outsiders, and the notorious pirate Billy Bowlegs, to restore the balance of past and present, good and evil. Includes nineteen full-color illustrations.
