Sixth grader Tara O'Hara is determined to find the treasure of the
Taramara Indian tribe. It is hidden in the legendary Lost Cave
somewhere in the Arizona desert. With the help of her enchanted
medallion, Tara enters a magic land, pulling along her wisecracking
younger brother, Patrick, his dog, Brutus, and her reluctant
friends, Paige and Eric. There they meet Ruben, a walking, talking,
nine-armed saguaro cactus, Billy Joe, a gambling, charming,
gold-toothed coyote, and Ppe, a Mexican gecko who cooks the best
enchiladas in all of Arizona down in his underground cantina.
The children tease and bicker but keep their sense of humor
while traveling across the fairyland desert into the perilous cave.
They fight off an army of wolf spiders, escape from a tunnel of
death, slide into a subterranean lake, and trade insults with
smelly javelina pigs until at last they find the treasure and bring
it back safely.
"Treasure of the Lost Cave" was written for nine- to
twelve-year-old readers. This well-written manuscript contains
fifteen page-turning chapters. Author Shelly Varney-Bock weaves a
magical adventure story around four children on a quest to find
lost Indian treasure in the Arizona desert. The camaraderie and
humor between the children is depicted in an amusing and
entertaining way. The desert becomes more enchanting when portrayed
as a whimsical fairyland full of danger and intrigue.
