Publication date: November 3, 2014
Publisher: Rebelight Publishing Inc.
Author: Larry Verstraete
Four months after Gramp’s mysterious death, Nate helps out at Gram’s garage sale. An eerie feeling, as if Gramps were reaching beyond the grave to send Nate a message, leads Nate to a box full of clues. A missing plane. A secret to keep. A map highlighting the route where Gramps died and the message, “Shipment #35-Gold.” Nate and his best friend, Simon, are convinced that Gramps was on a treasure hunt when he died. They’re just as convinced that Gram’s shifty next door neighbour, Fortier, is after the gold too. Nate and Simon sneak away on a Greyhound bus for the small town of Paradise where Nate is sure treasure awaits. Can they find the gold before Fortier gets his thieving hands on a treasure that rightfully belongs to Gramps?

My Review:
This is a great mystery that reminded me of Indiana Jones! I liked that they actually had to go somewhere to find it. The bad guys were also looking for the treasure, and they would do whatever they could to find it first. The clue box was interesting and I liked that it's contents were part of the answer! Will the treasure be what they want it to be? I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
