This is where it all begins! The first book in a series of epic adventures throughout ancient sites across the globe!
At twelve years old, junior archaeologist River Ruins has already completed several successful expeditions. Yet the one that he and his family are about to embark on will be particularly exciting as it checks off a ton of awesome boxes. On this expedition, the Ruin Hunters will be challenged to:

Crack codes and solve riddles Surf and sail the waves of the Caribbean Scuba dive through sunken ruins Fight for their lives in pirate battles Complete a ninja mission through an enemy fortress Blow a few things up along the way

The Ruin Hunters will cross the Caribbean in search of a mysterious glowing statue called the Glowing Idol of the Mixtec. But standing in their way is a crew of cutthroat pirates who have somehow sailed the seas for over three hundred years! Even worse than these seasoned sailors, though, are the Helions; an ancient order of powerful warriors hellbent on claiming the Glowing Idol for themselves.

Facing immeasurable odds, the Ruin Hunters find themselves with only two options; succeed or die trying.

Heroes will be born. Legends will be lost. Treasures will be found! This family series is perfect for fans of the classic adventures, such as Indiana Jones and The Goonies, but with a modern twist!
