This laugh-out-loud novel by Emily Fairlie is a fresh take on the
classic mystery caper. It's perfect for fans of From the Mixed-Up Files
of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, Chasing Vermeer, The Westing Game,
and the Mysterious Benedict Society books.
Using a unique blend of notes, lists, and classic prose, The Lost
Treasure of Tuckernuck tells the story of Bud and Laurie's quest to
find the infamous Tutweiler Treasure. They're hot (or at least lukewarm)
on the trail of scavenger hunt clues, but time is running out--the
school board wants to tear down Tuckernuck Hall. Can Bud and Laurie find
the treasure before it's lost forever?
Readers can enjoy solving puzzles along with the characters, and
teachers will appreciate references to famous artists and architects
such as Pablo Picasso and Frank Lloyd Wright. There is something for
everyone in this treasure trove of wry wit, thrilling adventure, and
undeniable heart!
