Seven Kids Uncover the Desert's Most Awesome Secret
Overview
The Goonies have got nothing on these adventure seeking kids! When a group of teens stumble across a mysterious treasure map, the search is on to find a lost pirate ship that's filled with treasure. Though they soon discover a secret desert tunnel that will lead directly to the ship, the teens hadn't counted on a pair of Chinese strangers determined to claim the bounty at any cost. Making the acquaintance of an old hermit who claims to have been a member of the crew, the kids must overcome a series of deadly obstacles and fierce adversaries if they are to claim the elusive lost treasure and escape with their lives.
