A pirate adventure like no other, THE TREASURE OF MARIA MAMOUN has less swashbuckling and more sentiment. It’s the story of the titular Maria Mamoun, a lonely girl from a poor and sunless neighborhood of the Bronx who finds herself seeking treasure on the islands around Martha’s Vineyard.
"Chalfoun succeeds in balancing the fantastic, like treasures and gala parties, with the ordinary, like a smart but ordinary looking heroine and descriptions of good food and crowded houses."

Twelve-year-old Maria lives a lonely, latchkey-kid's life in the Bronx. She keeps her worries to herself, not wanting to be a burden. Then Mom whisks them to an altogether different world on Martha's Vineyard, where she's found a job on a seaside estate. While the owner keeps her mother busy, Maria has the freedom to explore a place she thought could only exist in the movies. Making friends with a troublesome local, Maria stumbles upon an old map that she is sure will lead to pirate's plunder --- but treasure may not be the most valuable thing she discovers for herself this special summer.

While reading the newest book by Jeff Hirsch, I found myself incredibly intrigued in the quarantined life of one Cardinal Cassidy. At first glance, I was quite apprehensive about looking into the life of a boy stuck with his former bully in a small, quarantined area, but I cannot stress enough how insightful BLACK RIVER FALLS truly is.
