Pirates on the Bay is the tenth book in The Virginia Mysteries series, but it can easily be read as a standalone. Will they find a hidden bounty, or will competing treasure seekers, or even Blackbeard's ghost, send them to a watery grave at the bottom of the sea? When the clues lead them on a perilous trip across the Chesapeake Bay, danger lurks at every turn. Could the treasure still be out there, waiting to be discovered? Legend says he may have left valuable plunder buried in the nearby dunes before his final battle and violent death. When they meet a mysterious stranger named One-Eyed Jack, they're captivated by the tale of Edward Teach, better known as the notorious pirate Blackbeard. As the kids explore the beach, they find suspicious activity from the neighboring military base that points to the discovery of a historic shipwreck-maybe even lost pirate treasure Sam, Derek, and Caitlin head for a week's vacation at Virginia Beach, where three hundred years ago, pirates sailed the waters off the Atlantic Coast. In the Golden Age of Piracy, none was more dreaded than Blackbeard.
