Synopsis

Three children whose inquisitive minds find them on a family vacation smack in the middle of adventures that seem to be just waiting for them. Unknown to our intrepid vacationers, a long-ago group of brave and curious eighth graders on their remote destination island of St. Frederick formed a group of amateur detectives known as the Buccaneers.

Fast forward to the present, and together with the third generation Buccaneers, these clever kids discover some of the ancient mysteries of the island when they use these new-found friends at St. Frederick's local newspaper and the Native American community. Caves with ancient drawings, time travel and a mysterious skeleton pose the thrills that await them. They solve the mystery of those monster Bones found on a St. Frederick beach that puzzled the islanders and the scientists for many years.
