Katherine Roy.
Kit and his siblings (The Expeditioners and the Treasure of Drowned Man's Canyon) are off to the Caribbean to find the next clue their missing explorer father left behind, all the while dodging jealous classmates and government officials out to steal their father's secret. Although the story's pacing is off, the sibling dynamic is believable. Full-page black-and-white illustrations are included.
