On a visit to a seaside town in Australia, fifteen-year-old Sam meets Annabel, who works at the local museum.
Annabel's interest in history is infectious, and Sam soon finds himself eager to hunt for the remains of a famous shipwreck that is thought to be hidden nearby. When a storm exposes a structure, Sam and Annabel are convinced it's the fabled ship. Soon all of the museum staff are at the site to check it out. But the same storm also destroys the museum's power and, when the alarms aren't working, someone steals the museum's most treasured artifact, worth millions. Sam and Annabel are convinced they can help and search for the thief. They soon begin to suspect that there may be a link between the fabled shipwreck and the recent theft.
The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.

About the Author-
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, John Wilson grew up on the Isle of Skye and outside Glasgow, without the slightest idea that he would ever write books. After obtaining a degree in geology from the University of St. Andrews, he worked in Zimbabwe and Alberta before taking up writing full time and moving to Vancouver Island in 1991. John is the author of numerous articles, essays, poems and reviews, and almost fifty novels and nonfiction books for kids, teens and adults. He was a finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award (The Alchemist's Dream, 2007), and his books have won or been shortlisted for most Canadian children's-literature prizes.
Reviews-
July 1, 2013 New to Australia, Sam is befriended by Annabel, an employee at the local museum. The two embark on a search for a legendary shipwreck but are soon distracted by the theft of the Loch Ard peacock, the museum's prized artifact. The straightforward story is entertaining but lacks the suspenseful twists of most mysteries.
