Five teens are thrown together at Camp Pathfinder. Using their unique skills, they soon embark on a quest for a rumored hidden treasure sparked by the camp’s founder: explorer-inventor Henry Merriweather. Though Merriweather lived decades before them, they sense his presence as they explore the adjacent town of Windrose and Merriweather’s extraordinary cement castle.
What’s not to like? The characters are quirky and fun, there is a cool castle, time travel, and a treasure hunt set in a weird valley that farts natural gas. The art is beautifully drawn and colored and it’s the adventure we’ve all secretly dreamed we could have. Only drawback? It ends too soon. Sign me up for book two.
