Publisher Description
Zac Baxter's grandfather has always told him that he's the descendant of African kings, whose treasure was stolen when his ancestors were sold into slavery. Of course, Zac brushes this off as a tall tale -- until his grandfather is murdered and their apartment is completely ransacked. Clearly somebody is after something. Heeding his grandfather's dying words, Zac is off to Ghana to track down his family's history. But what did his grandfather mean when he said that Zac had the map to the treasure? Following every clue he can find, Zac begins to suspect that the treasure is real, and hidden in one of Ghana's old slave forts. Too bad the killers always seem to be one step ahead of him. With no one he can trust and with everything to lose, Zac races against time as he tries to uncover the truth about the past -- and a fortune in gold.

"I loved this book. Mussi Weaves piercingly drawn slave history with a very gritty and realistic description of what it is like to be a young boy in care. The mixture is really unexpected and, as I had the unexpected pleasure of letting Mussi know, is reminiscent of To Kill a Mocking Bird."

" This is a awesom book i loveit so much "
— Amie, 2/18/2014 -
" This book would have been twice as good if it had been half as long. The hero's voice is somewhat uneven, and some characters are cardboard through and through, but the adventure is pretty good. Over 400 pages makes this a hard sell for the really reluctant reader. "
— Wally, 2/13/2014 -
" Interesting historical context and some nice moments, but overall what came out of it wasn't worth the effort, especially because of the weak ending. "

" Excellent book! Zac was a great protagonist and the plot kept me engrossed from start to finish. The description of Ghana was evocative and interesting. I definitely recommend this to teens and adults. "
