Libby’s beloved grandfather has just passed away. While she is sad, she is not distraught like
her father, because Grampa appears to her to tell her to find the treasure at
the lake – their family lake. When she
goes, however, two new neighbors are there – Bobby and his twin sister
Martha. When Martha thinks the treasure
is actual gold, she is more than happy to help.
When the treasure may have a different sort of value, however, she wants
to quit and take her believing brother with her. Libby has to navigate between her dad, who
can’t see Grampa, her Grampa’s entreaties, and the twins. Not an easy task for a 12-year-old.
As a metaphor for the value of family and belief, this is a
sweet little story. It won’t fly off the
shelf, but for who enjoy Suzanne LaFleur’s books willalso enjoy this.
