Max Carter's grandfather runs a museum with a very special charm on display. When the book opens the museum is being robbed, Max's grandfather is attacked, and the thieves set fire to the museum to cover their tracks. Fortunately, Max arrives just in time and saves his grandfather from the fire. But his adventure is just beginning. While recovering in the hospital, Max's grandfather tells him that the stolen charm was actually a replica and that he needs to get the real one and take it back to Egypt. With the help of a burly Frenchman Max travels to the Caribbean in search of the charm. What he finds is not what he expected.
I enjoyed the book quite a bit. A good adventure for boys, short chapters, and good action. I felt that the ending was a bit rushed but overall it was good. I also appreciated the fact that even though it is the first in a series it had a logical ending.
