Who could be stealing artifacts from historic Jamestown?
Four hundred years ago, colonists voyaged across the Atlantic Ocean to discover a new world. Today, an amazing archaeological dig at Historic Jamestown promises to uncover new secrets from those earliest English settlers.
Sam, Derek and Caitlin canβt believe their luck when they are invited by Professor Evanshade to help with the archaeological digs for a week at Jamestownβs Field School. Maybe theyβll uncover something spectacular tracing all the way back to Captain John Smith and Pocahontas!
But when one of the priceless artifacts dug from the Jamestown Fort is labeled a fraud, it threatens to upend the entire archaeological project. Can the kids expose the secret conspiracy, or have they finally gotten in over their heads? Journey back with them to Americaβs beginnings and a mystery in the shadows of Jamestown.
