The Lost Cipher

(3) 4-6 Following his father's death, Lucas leaves his beloved West Virginia mountain home to attend a Virginia camp for kids who have recently lost a parent. There he learns the (real-life) legend of the Beale treasure, and sets out to find it with his new friends. A solid wilderness adventure novel with a believable protagonist, quirky characters, and humor to offset insightful depictions of grief. The actual Beale ciphers are appended. Author's note.
