Rainy Day Beach House: #2 The Treasure Fleet

By Cristel Buck

Each summer the Kingsley family returns to their beach house. The house has remained a summer retreat for generations. The large family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents all spend the summer in this grand old home.

Mercer, along with his cousins, have fun playing on the beach, exploring the grounds, and riding bikes into town. However, the most interesting place to visit is the attic, which is packed with artifacts from the past.

These are not just ordinary artifacts, as they have a story to tell. Mercer learns of times and events of the past, and his family history is also revealed. Join Mercer on his adventure and discover what secrets the relics in the attic hold!
