People were constantly telling Kelly O'Brien about all the things she couldn't do. Women couldn't vote. Women couldn't serve in the Army. Women couldn't work and have a career. And the one thing that bothered her the most, women couldn't be on the Seaside Park Beach Patrol. Still, her parents told her that as long as she believed in herself, nothing could hold her back. She could do anything she wanted to do.Danny and Eddie Taylor were brothers but their personalities were as different as night and day. Danny was athletic and quite outgoing. You could almost say that he was charismatic. Eddie was much more quiet and shy. He developed a stutter at an early age and bullies made fun of him whenever he had to speak in class. Although he would eventually outgrow it, he still spent most of his time in his room with his books.These three friends were fascinated by the legends and lore of the pirates who had once sailed the Barnegat Bay. Occasionally, they would even try their hand at digging for buried pirate gold. When they heard a story about the lost treasure of Joe Mulliner, their search was on.(Review) "The Lost Treasure of Joe Mulliner is an exciting coming-of-age story that includes a young woman's point of view."
