Reviews
""The Lost Treasure captures the thrill of discovery and the bond of friendship as Bobby Holmes and his friends unravel an ancient mystery. A captivating read from start to finish!"" -Aiden Pearce, The Author Network ""Author Kelly displays a keen, nostalgic eye for childhoods well spent adventuring. His prose is lush with whimsy, though he captures natural beauty just as well. Amid the genre trappings, there are also excellent messages for younger audiences. An irresistibly bright world, packed with winning characters and real danger."" -Kirkus Reviews ""This book is perfect for middle schoolers and adults alike. I was hooked from the first page! The characters feel real, and the inclusion of a boy on the autism spectrum adds depth and understanding. The author truly captures the spirit of young people. I picked it up for my grandson but couldn't put it down. It's fun, uplifting, and downright hilarious!"" -William C. Bowblis
