Jamaica is a land of discovery and adventure, and Yaakov Peretz is about to encounter both. The Peretz kids have long known the story of Christopher Columbus's legendary gold mine on Jamaica. It's a tale that's been in their family for generations, since an ancestor named Simon Mendez lived on the island to keep the Spanish Inquisition off his back. They've also heard stories of the pirates who once inhabited Jamaica and turned looting Spanish ships into a national sport. So, when their mother's former teacher invites everyone to Jamaica for an art show, the trip seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. Better still, Yaakov, Yosef and Rachel find an old letter from Simon, a letter that will show them the way to the mine...if they can figure out what it means. Armed with their family stories and their digging robot, the kids leave a boring art show to strike their fortune, but danger can't stop following them. Their quest for priceless treasure quickly takes a wrong turn when a missile from nowhere knocks their tour guide's helicopter out of the sky. Kidnapping, chases and run-ins with villains are soon to follow, turning a hopeful treasure hunt into a struggle for survival. And that innocent art teacher may not be what she seemed. There are dangerous people on Jamaica, people with secrets to protect and the wicked means to do so. Yaakov is determined to bring them all down and to solve the mystery of Columbus's gold mine once and for all. Why not? He's a Peretz. The bad guys have messed with the wrong tourists.
