A legendary hidden treasure, an eccentric guy who collects stuff in
a mysterious castle, and five cool kids trying to connect the dots
and save the day, all of it brilliantly illustrated. WHAT'S NOT TO
LOVE HERE? --MAX BRALLIER, author of the NYT bestselling series The
Last Kids on Earth Summer camp just became a whole lot more
interesting when five curious kids accept a mysterious project:
work together as a team to uncover a series of strange clues,
reveal a secret path--and follow its twists and turns to a
legendary treasure! Join in the fun in this lively, clever debut
graphic novel sure to appeal to fans of the Last Kids on Earth and
Lumberjanes series. Kyle is a new kid in town who likes to draw.
Vic is a cool cheerleader who's secretly a math whiz. Quiet Beth is
a history buff, while goofball Harry likes performing magic tricks,
with the help of his patient wingman, Nate. Five kids unlikely to
form a team, for sure. But then they're thrown together at summer
camp, where they watch a grainy old movie about the history of
their town, Windrose, and one of its illustrious citizens of a
bygone era: the intrepid explorer-inventor Henry Merriweather. He's
the one who established their camp. Merriweather's Camp
Pathfinders' motto? Plus Ultra more beyond! The five kids soon find
there is indeed more beyond in their pokey town with its weird
weather and sudden geysers of smelly air. Deciphering a route of
historical markers leads them to Merriweather's old castle, which
is lined with ornate, beautiful tiles in hallways that lead to
secret rooms full of odd objects--and where time itself is warped!
Kyle, Vic, Beth, Harry, and Nate witness scenes from Merriweather's
past and realize his experiments and eccentricities are pointing
toward a path--that could lead to the rumored lost treasure of
Windrose. This is the path our heroes are meant to follow, on a
journey that will take them back and forth through time, through
woods, and across waterways revealed by moonlight, right up to the
looming Moon Tower itself--which holds Merriweather's secret . . .
and the treasure!
