title: Can You See What I See?: Treasure Ship: Picture Puzzles to Search and Solve
author:  Walter Wick 
description: The latest in Wick's long-running series centers on the story of a wrecked ship, the <I>Bountiful</I>, with luminous results. Striking photographic compositions illuminate the ship and its treasure; in all, they contain 200+ hidden objects and were created using digital photography with miniature and full-scale sets. Little by little, the camera pulls back to show wider views, revealing that the <I>Bountiful</I>is actually a ship in a bottle, in a knick-knack shop, in a seaside town, pictured in a postcard. The entrancing, detail-rich visuals and ingenious twist will likely stir readers' imaginations.
