Treasure hunters

A crime wave has hit Archer's Grove and Maddison disovered the secret in her father's past, and a cold case has changed from "missing" to murder.

Chris and Carrie Kingsolver have the location of the lost tresure ship San Telmo, and are off to find it with Professor Griffin and two sketchy grad students, meanwhile, Maddison's dad has dragged her off to Nebraska to consult a detective about the disappearance of an old college friend, and the FBI is going door to door.

"Bick, Beck, and the rest of the Kidds face down their nemesis, search for lost treasure, and race to solve a generations-old mystery that threatens to ruin the Kidd family name"--.

Twelve-year-old twins Bickford and Rebecca Kidd and their two older siblings travel to Africa to track down priceless artifacts that will keep the family's treasure hunting business afloat long enough to rescue their kidnapped mother, and possibly find their missing father.

When their ship, the Lost, explodes, Bick, Beck, Tommy, and Storm are stranded on a raft in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, but the situation worsens when the treasure hunters kidnap their parents, forcing the Kidd siblings to follow clues around the globe to uncover an ancient treasure and save their family.

"Chris and Carrie have been betrayed. Maddison has discovered the dark secret in her father's past. A cold case is suddenly hot and has changed from 'missing' to 'murder.' As a crime wave hists Archer's Grove and authorities struggle to catch the culprits, Chris, Carrie, and Maddison turn to the Kinsolvers' Aunt Elsie for answers. Can the notebooks she left behind illuminate this tangled web of lies, betrayals, and broken promises? Will the truth finally be uncovered?"--Proved by publisher.

"On the trail of a document that could lead them to a lost treasure ship, Chris, his cousin Carrie, and their friend Maddison head into the woods in search of an old Spanish mission church. It should be simple--except for the film crew that doesn't take kindly to unexpected hikers. And then there's the vengeful ghost said to haunt the woods."--Provided by publisher.

"Chris, Carrie, and Maddison think they know where the San Telmo is. But if they want to find the ship, they're going to have to survive screaming caves, psychotic oceanography professors, dangerous cave floors, ghosts--and a boat with one terrible paint job. But for Aunt Elsie, who set them on this investigation, they're willing to brave anything."--Provided by publisher.
