The Adventure of Captain Daisy and Her Crew (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:39s
Captain Daisy and her brave crew sailed through dark waters on a moonless night. They dared to explore unknown lands where the crops grew strangely and the air was filled with mystery. One evening, they found an ancient map with odd data about a hidden treasure. It showed the date the treasure was buried and marked a spot where the people who hid it were now dead. The cost of this adventure was high, risking their lives for a great deal. Daisy loved her crew dearly. They were like family. Together, they followed the map, hoping it would lead them to fortune and perhaps to a story they could tell for years to come.
