Mae & Mr. Hedges Discover Port Royal: Revisiting a 1934 Story Through the Real History of Roatan

What if the greatest treasure your child could discover isn't something buried - but something they learn to see?

When a curious explorer arrives on the island of Roatan searching for pirate gold, he meets Mae - a girl who has always known that the real riches of her home can't be found on any map.

Together they row across Port Royal Harbor, discover ancient stone walls with a surprising history, and drift through waters that glow in the dark. What begins as a treasure hunt slowly becomes something neither of them expected.

Inspired by a real 1934 newspaper article preserved by the Library of Congress, and rooted in the true history of Honduras' Bay Islands.

Mae and Mr. Hedges is a story about curiosity, perspective, and the kind of discovery that changes how you see the world - not just the one on the page, but the one right outside your door.

Includes a QR code linking directly to the original 1934 historical source - so families can explore the real story together long after the last page.

For curious children ages 4-7.
