Ten-year-old Christa and eleven-year-old Alex lack nothing in imagination when it comes to outdoor summertime fun. When one of their inventive activities turns into a real-life treasure hunt for Al Capone's hidden loot, they also see a chance to stop the sale of Christa's family's beloved lake cabin. This appealing novel capably balances an engaging adventure plot with an emphasis on family and friendship.
