Having received the news that his parents were lost at sea, and finding a magic treasure chest that seems to be guiding him, Christopher decides to set sail, looking for his family and the treasure! Along with his guardian and a group of young stowaways, Christopher gets caught up in pirate chases, time travel, and an amazing mission to save the earth's most precious treasures! While on this fast-paced, action packed journey, junior readers will explore geographical, scientific and global citizenship concepts. Through the quest, readers are introduced to the topics of: animals, rainforests, rocks and minerals, sound, structures, light, quality of life, community involvement and environmental stewardship. Each theme is intricately woven throughout the suspenseful plot. My students loved every moment of learning these concepts through this exciting quest. They were excited about learning and inspired to use their gifts and talents to be responsible citizens and environmental stewards for our beautiful planet. At the end of every chapter they were begging for more!
