Yaakov the Pirate Hunter

Yaakov Peretz is out to catch a pirate.

One quiet morning, the Peretz children discover a pirates' treasure map in their family's robot. It leads them into the Mojave Desert, where they soon unearth a mysterious treasure chest stolen from a Santa Barbara billionaire named Aharon Sapir.

Yaakov and family manage to return the treasure and to outwit the pirates who stole it, but soon learn of a greater danger to the Sapir family fortune. On the Tunisian island of Djerba rests the Sapirs' most sacred heirloom: the world's oldest Torah scroll, an artifact worth a fortune.

Another pirate is after the ancient scroll, and the Peretzes' trusted robot dealer may be involved. Yaakov and family journey to the other side of the globe to track down a ruthless scoundrel with criminal intent. To succeed, Yaakov must decide between saving his prized robot, built with his very hands, and protecting a greater good.

"The story, itself, moves along at a cracking pace and will be easy to read for any middle grade reader. It is a marvellous story that all children will find entertaining and enjoyable." --Susan Day, Author/Illustrator of Astro's Adventures
