Lin Moser is not looking forward to this summer. After living on the road all her life, hiking mountains and traveling through the country in an RV with her house-flipping parents, she' s now stuck in Newbridge, New Jersey for their longest stay yet. With Mom away on a year-long naturalist assignment, Lin has resigned herself to having the most boring summer ever. But then she finds out about a local legend: an ancient ruined castle in the woods that no one has been able to find. Hiking to this castle would be like a quest . . . such an amazing quest, perhaps, that Mom might even come home and join her, like it used to be. Determined to create her own adventure, Lin sets off on her biggest one yet-braving the wilderness with her two new friends, finding the castle, and maybe discovering home along the way.
Rinker' s affinity for treasure-seeking quests serves readers well, as do her clear interest in and affection for the natural world. . . An enjoyably alfresco romp. -- Kirkus ReviewsRinker (The Dare Sisters) packs themes and plot points into a novel whose real strength is its characters. . . the rapport and significant emotional arcs satisfy. -- Publishers WeeklyA cross between the Irwin family' s adventures and National Treasure, this is an entertaining quest that touches on facets of home and family, bullying, and personal creativity. A quick read that will entertain and challenge readers to seek out adventures in their own backyards. -- Booklist
Jess Rinker always wanted to find treasure as a child. In the woods or on the beach, she was always hunting for something, and when she first visited the Outer Banks of North Carolina at fourteen, she discovered the incredible history there was a treasure in itself. She could never be a pirate because she gets seasick, but writing about pirates has been quite fun. She' s now a children' s author and writing teacher, and she still searches for treasures. She is the author of The Dare Sisters and The Dare Sisters: Shipwrecked. jessrinker. com
