Pablo Perez is a 12-year-old poor kid without much going for him. His classmates have dubbed him ยDuct Tapeย because his tattered discount-store sneakers are held together withย you guessed it, duct tape. He canยt escape the bullying. Pabloยs luck, however, changes after he finds a $20 gold coin while swimming in a river near his home. Pablo later buys a $1 treasure map at the county fair. The map shows the route to the ยlost treasureย of Jesse James. Pablo canยt help but wonder: Is there a link between the map and the gold coin? He is determined to find out, and he, his 9-year-old sister and 13-year-old cousin hire an ill-natured cave guide, and begin a treacherous underground adventure in search of treasure.
