We hope to see a sequel! Jan 09, 2008
This story is pretty much as described in the publishers review. It has a great quick pace, good dialogue and adventure. Your reader won't want to wait until tomorrow to finish it. It is loosely based on some historical events surrounding real pirates. I got this for an 11 year old boy who also liked the Secrets of Droon series, Harry Potter, National Treasure, etc. We would love to see the boys in another adventure. What a great find!
It comes from a print on demand publisher. The first copy I ordered I had to send back as the pages started coming out after leafing through it. I returned it and I think I got the replacement--a long lasting reprint I might add--before Amazon must have gotten the return. Great book. Fantastic customer service!

 A fun adventure for juvenile readers. Jan 30, 2007
The Search for the Treasure of Pirate's Pit
Under the Eagle's Beak is an excellent juvenile adventure tale about two boys in search of a lost treasure, a missing father, time travel and encounters with pirates. Allow me to quote from the back cover:
"Billy Marshal and his friend Figgy Newton have grown up around treasure-hunters. Every summer, the search for the treasureof Pirate's Pit begins again in Clark's Cove. Not wishing to be outdone by tourists, Bill and Figgy are determined to be the first to find the treasure! So far, however, they've had no luck finding even one gold piece.
"But Bill and Figgy won't give up - they've caught pirate fever! After discovering a mysterious letter that leads them to a time machine, Bill and Figgy are transported back to the 18th century where they learn the dangerous secrets of the Treasure of Pirate's Pit! Can Bill and Figgy find the treasure and return to the future - or will they be stuck on a pirate's ship forever?"
It is a well-written and well-edit story which I can highly recommend to juvenile readers. It is short, fast paced and full excitement. You won't be disappointed.

Great Pirate Adventure Story Nov 23, 2006
If you like Pirate adventure stories, this is right up there with the best of them!! I bought this for my kids to give for the holidays, and started reading it and could not put it down. I loved it. Should be made into a movie one day. Good job author.
