"A bold, big-hearted start to a groundbreaking new series." --Soman
Chainani, author of The School for Good and Evil
The New York Times bestselling author of the Seven Wonders series and
books in the 39 Clues series, Peter Lerangis, brings us the enthralling
first installment of the adventure-filled Max Tilt trilogy.
When thirteen-year-old Max Tilt happens upon his
great-great-great-grandfather Jules Verne's unfinished, unpublished
manuscript, The Lost Treasures, he doesn't realize that he's found the
answers to all his problems. And Max has a lot of problems--his mother
is sick, his father is out of work, and his home is about to be
foreclosed on. But when Max and his cousin Alex discover that Verne's
last work reveals everything he wrote was fact, not fiction, they
realize that the book holds the key to something incredibly valuable. A
treasure that can save his house--and maybe his entire family.
But Max and Alex aren't the only ones who know about Verne's clues.
Spencer Niemend, a strange skunk-haired man who has spent his life
researching Verne's works, is bent on reshaping the world with the
hidden treasure. To find it first, Max and Alex must go on an adventure
that'll take them from the broken remains of an underwater city to the
very jaws of a giant squid to the edges of a whirlpool from which no one
has ever emerged alive.
This is the first book in a new hair-raising, edge-of-your-seat
adventure series from master storyteller and New York Times
bestselling author Peter Lerangis.
