About the book:

Book Two of the Isle of Ever series raises the stakes in the game to find a treasure! Now that Benny’s found her ancestor’s friends on the secret island, she must break the curse that keeps them from being mortal kids, while also trying to outwit those who want the treasure for their own purposes.

Having finally reached the Isle of Ever and the immortal kids who live there, Benny thinks she’s won the game of clues her ancestor Evelyn set out for her in her will—only she can’t prove it yet! Because it turns out Evelyn has more secrets in her diary and a new game for Benny: to find the lost piece of pirate treasure needed to break the curse once and for all. It won't be easy: one of her best friends has betrayed her; her new friends from the island are just discovering twenty-first century life, and a mysterious stranger mentioned in Evelyn’s diary has somehow turned up in present-day Greenport! And Benny has to figure it all out in just a few days, before Isle of Ever disappears again for another two hundred years.
