Description

The book follows Jackson and his friend Goat as they create a series of treasure hunts for each other, complete with maps and clues. As the two boys compete to outsmart one another, the treasure hunts become increasingly chaotic. Goat's sister Rachel eventually joins in and comes up with her own plan. The story is set in a neighborhood where the boys live.

Quick Summary

Two clever best friends take turns creating increasingly wild treasure hunts for each other, and every map leads to laugh-out-loud chaos that kids will absolutely devour. Kids will grin through every mishap as the boys' simple scavenger hunts explode into backyard disasters involving mud, mistaken identities, and one very confused neighbor. If your kid loves the mystery and humor of Encyclopedia Brown or the nutty problem-solving of The Great Brain, they'll be hooked from page one. Perfect for readers in grades 3 through 6 who want a quick, funny read with plenty of heart.
