Title: The Lost Treasure Map

Level: Intermediate (B2)

#Story :

Jake and Emily, two siblings spending the summer with their retired sailor grandfather, discover an ancient treasure map hidden in their attic. Though skeptical at first, they are intrigued by their grandfather’s stories of an island that no one dares to explore. The map leads them to a mysterious island off the coast of their town, where they find not just treasure, but a strange force guarding it. As they uncover the gold, the island itself seems to come alive, forcing them to escape before the island swallows them whole. Upon returning home, their grandfather warns them that treasure always comes at a price, leaving them to wonder what they’ve truly unearthed.
