Matthew and Lauren and their cousins Haley and Luke become obsessed with the legends of 18th century pirate Blackbeard while attending summer camp at the Outer Banks in North Carolina. An old sailor persuades them to join a university archaeological expedition to find Blackbeard’s sunken ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge. Odd events convince the children that Blackbeard’s ghost haunts the Banks, and a commercial salvage company threatens them. The conclusion to this adventure proves as exciting as any tales around the campfire.
