Summary "The Mystery Boys and Captain Kidd's Message" by Van Powell is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. This thrilling tale follows a group of young friends—Nicky Lane, Tom, and Cliff—as they embark on an expedition to uncover the secrets of piracy and hidden treasure tied to the legendary Captain Kidd. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Jamaica, the boys navigate through voodoo mysteries and clues leading them to potential fortunes, while grappling with the challenges of their adventurous spirit. At the start of the story, we meet Nicky, Tom, and Cliff as they explore a plantation in Jamaica while helping a scholar find Carib relics. Their curiosity is piqued by the strange behavior of a local boy and the frightening presence of a voodoo woman, which sets a mysterious tone. When they discover that one of Nicky's ancestors received a message from Captain Kidd, the boys are eager to investigate further. As they dive into the mystery, they learn about a cipher related to treasure and plan an expedition aboard the "Treasure Belle" to follow the clues. The opening chapters set up an enthralling mix of adventure, friendship, and the supernatural, leaving readers anxious to join the boys on their quest for hidden riches.
