(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Mark Zug. American boy Oliver and his Baladi friend Zee stumble upon a secret about seven ancient keys that supposedly lead to buried treasure. Soon the keys--and people--start disappearing. The novel mixes mystery and action with a bit of Indiana Jones thrown in. The vividly described setting, a fictional country called Balabad, was inspired by Afghanistan.
