About this ebook
The Danger Guys are at it again! During a trip to the beach, best friends Noodle and Zeek try to relax and have a quiet, danger-free afternoon. But trouble follows these boys wherever they go. Before they know it, Noodle and Zeek find themselves stranded on a sinking boat in the middle of the ocean. To escape, the boys jump on a surfboard and ride a giant wave to a nearby island. The island is where their town’s founder, Captain May, was shipwrecked hundreds of years ago.
Noodle and Zeek soon discover that treasure hunters are on the island, searching for Captain May’s lost gold. But to find it, the hunters are going to blow the ship out of the water, which would cause a tidal wave big enough to destroy Mayville! With some quick thinking—and a little bit of help from some old friends—the boys fight to save their town from disaster.
Danger Guys Hit the Beach is the 4th book in Danger Guys, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Danger Guys Hit the Beach - Tony Abbott
ONE
Did I say this was boring?
That was my best friend, Zeek Pilinsky. He was leaning back on his elbows, staring out across the hot beach.
Yeah,
I said. Twice.
I was lying next to him on a beach blanket.
I had just flipped another page of Adventure magazine. But I wasn’t really reading it anymore. I had started to doze off.
Well, I take it back,
Zeek said. This isn’t boring. This is deadly!
I had to agree. Nothing was happening. It was all just kids with buckets, and parents talking.
Come on, Noodle! You’re the guy with all the bright ideas. You’ve got to think of something!
I usually do think of something. I am the guy with all the bright ideas. That’s why everybody calls me Noodle. And Zeek, he’s the guy with all the muscles. That’s why they call him … well … anyway, we’re pretty much a team.
"Noodle, we need something different. Something fun. You know, something exciting!"
Zeek,
I said. What you really mean is …
Yeah. Something DANGEROUS!
I know how he feels. In the past couple of months, we’ve brushed with death no less than thirteen times. We’re Danger Guys. We live the life of danger.
Well, we did. Until now.
How about something like this?
I cracked open the magazine to a picture of two people in underwater diving suits.
The Emersons!
Yeah, it was Mr. and Mrs. Emerson. They were the famous husband-and-wife exploring team we had met fighting treasure thieves.
"Now that adventure was different, fun, exciting, and dangerous!" I said.
Right. But this?
Zeek said, looking out at the water. If this keeps up, we won’t be Danger Guys anymore. We’ll have to call ourselves …
Cheeseburgers?
My dad said that. He and my mom had just come back from the snack stand with a pile of burgers, some sodas, and a few bags of chips.
All right, Mr. Newton.
Zeek laughed. You can call us cheeseburgers, just don’t call us late for lunch!
Zeek grabbed a burger right off the top and stuffed it in his mouth.
Listen, boys,
my mom said. If you’re looking for something to do, you might watch those surfers over there.
She pointed down the beach to a bunch of guys with ponytails.
I just heard them talking about something called the Golden Crest. You might ask them …
Zeek grabbed my hand just as I was about to chomp my burger.
"Golden …?" he gasped.
"… Crest?" I whispered.
"Do you think it’s a ship? A sunken ship?"
"If there’s a ship, there must be treasure! Sunken treasure!"
Zeek and I shot up from the sand like rockets.
Noodle, we’ve got to check this out!
Yeah, and we’ve got to go under cover.
Good call, Nood!
We wrapped a couple of my mom’s scarves around our heads like bandanas. Then we each slid on a pair of mirrored sunglasses.
Are we cool, or are we cool!
said Zeek.
We were cool. And we were ready.
A minute later we were at the surfer camp. One of the guys was strumming a guitar. Another was playing bongos. A third was carrying a surfboard to a motorboat sitting in the water.
Zeek nudged me. I’m the muscle man, remember?
He flexed his arms. Just let me do all the talking.
I nodded. Sometimes Zeek
