Captain Jimmy Cook Discovers X Marks the Spot
Meet Jimmy Cook - he's an explorer (he discovered Grade Three was full of surprises), an eccentric (he looks great in a tricorn hat) and someone who takes adventure very seriously. The second hilarious book in the Captain Jimmy Cook Discovers series.
Captain Jimmy Cook Discovers X Marks the Spot by Kate Temple and Jol Temple follows the thrilling adventures of Captain Jimmy Cook, who is on the verge of making a Top Secret Important Discovery. A discovery even more vital than anything the other Captain Cook from the olden days ever uncovered—a real dinosaur footprint! Everyone knows that beneath a real dinosaur footprint lies a real dinosaur bone.
Jimmy must keep this incredible find a huge secret because he discovered it in a prohibited area, behind a toilet block. However, this setback won't deter Jimmy and his crew. Once he unearths the dinosaur bone, Jimmy will become the most famous Captain James Cook in history, and not even Ms Fennel will be able to remain angry with him.
Yet, even the greatest explorers face challenges. Jimmy's problems include: 1) The entire school is eager to assist with The Dig, so it's only a matter of time before Ms Fennel prevents the greatest discovery of all time, and 2) a large, smelly cat sitting in his excavation site.
Fortunately, luck is on Jimmy's side. He discovers a map of the school with a large X marked on it, and everyone knows what that signifies—Treasure! Treasure! Treasure!
Captain Jimmy Cook is about to make the discovery of a lifetime...
