Thirteen-year-old Lyza's grandfather dies, leaving behind clues to a treasure buried by Captain Kidd. In the midst of the Vietnam War, searching for the treasure in her New Jersey town gives Lyza and her friends some hope. The free-verse narration, steeped in 1960s culture and music, reflects Lyza's innocence and bewilderment as she navigates an uncertain reality. Reading list, websites.
