Brand New The Treasure of Maria Mamoun - Advanced Reader’s Edition Winner of the 2017 Arab American Book Award Twelve-year-old Maria lives an anxious, latchkey-kid's life in the Bronx. Her Lebanese mother is working two nursing jobs to make ends meet, and Maria keeps her worries to herself, not wanting to be a burden. But then something scary happens and Mom whisks them to an altogether different world on Martha's Vineyard, where she's found a job on a seaside estate. While the mysterious bedridden owner―a former film director―occupies her mother, Maria suddenly has the freedom to explore a place she thought could only exist in the movies. Making friends with a troublesome local character, Maria finds an old sailboat that becomes a perfect clubhouse. She has also stumbled upon a mysterious map that she is sure will lead to pirate's plunder―one of many discoveries this incredible summer.
