Timothy
Taylor traveled around a lot as a kid to places like California, Massachusetts,
and Saudi Arabia. He loved reading mysteries and decided he’d write one too for
kids like his son.
Bob Sheard,
a web publisher, enjoys writing, investing, and spending quality time with his
wife and two children in and around Cincinnati, Ohio.
Description:
Will
Grainger is new to Knightsbridge, California. Since his parents’ separation,
Will has relocated five times in six years. This time, Will is hoping to
establish some roots and make a few friends. When the remains of the notorious
Spanish pirate, El Cazador are unearthed in Knightsbridge, gold fever erupts,
bringing thousands of treasure seekers to the sleepy California town.
Appraisal:
In a fast-paced
descriptive style middle grade students enjoy, the writing team of Bob Sheard
and Timothy Taylor tell a fascinating story of friendship, mystery, and
adventure.
While
researching in the town’s public library, Will meets other seventh graders with
treasure fever. Mikey is an electronics buff, Susan is a computer wiz, and
Evelyn has an amazing aptitude for photography. Joined with Will’s knowledge of
the outdoors, these young sleuths are seemingly unbeatable, except for the fact
that professional treasure hunters are on their tail willing to prevent their
success at all costs.
The Hunt for the Well Hidden
Treasure is an
exciting read for kids, teens, and adults alike.
