Description from the amazon:
They’ve done it!!! The pirate kids have found buried treasure!!! Too bad Rotten Tooth was there to take it away, mumbling something about scallywags . . .
But when all the pirates on the Sea Rat come down with a mysterious illness, the kids start to wonder if it could have something to do with their treasure.
Could it be cursed?
Amusing quote:
"Blimey, being a pirate kid sure is hard work sometimes," I said.
"Aye, Pete, and splashy work," Gary added.
