Feathers, Treasures, and Sandy Paws

One perfect storm. Two lost treasures. Three amazing discoveries! It's all hands on deck for endless waves of adventure! Eleven-year-old Jack Cooper picks up odd jobs to earn his pocket money. Despite all his hard work and good deeds, however, he can't seem to get ahead. When a raging storm delivers a rare treasure into his fishing net, he must choose between finding its rightful owner or selling it for a tempting offer-and time is running out. He could use the cash for so many things, but a nagging feeling about its mysterious origin keeps getting in the way. The first in a vibrant new series that follows Jack as he navigates the challenges of middle school with the help of his friends and the community in Hansford Landing-an ordinary seaside village . . . except when it isn't! Young readers ages 9 - 12 (and those young at heart) will enjoy getting to know Jack and his friends while laughing at the antics of Barney the blue-eyed border collie and Freckles the budgie. Join them in their adventures at the beach, playground, campground, and fairgrounds!
