Secrets of the Pirate Inn
“Buckets of Blood”
Reads the old sign hanging over the doorway of the weather-beaten house where Uncle Will lives. But he will have to move to an old-age home unless Sally, Amy, and Jack can find the treasure...money, and an uncut diamond!
The only clue is a counting-out rhyme: William Mr. Trimbletoe, it goes, catches fishes, puts them in dishes. It makes no sense at all. The sleuthing begins. Each clue brings a new treasure, but as the hunt continues, Sally, Amy, and Jack discover that the most important clue is the hardest of all to unravel.
Suspenseful incidents and fast-thinking, fast-acting children. ALA Booklist
