Overview

The Nez Perce Treasure, by Dr. Tom Latham, expands the SHANE WOODS SERIES to six books. The story is rich with action, cultural encounters, and moments of self-discovery, all delivered with a wry sense of humor and a touch of spiritual reflection. When Loretta-who answers to Natasha, Linda, or Ginger depending on the day-wakes up as the reluctant cook on a Russian crab fishing vessel, she thinks her luck can't get any worse. She's wrong. With a past that includes a stint in prison, a failed robbery with a toy gun, and a family she's desperate to reunite, Loretta's journey is anything but ordinary. Stranded at sea with a crew that doesn't speak her language and a storm brewing on the horizon, she's forced to improvise, survive, and maybe even find redemption. But Loretta's story is just the beginning. Across the Pacific Northwest, a group of teens stumbles upon a mysterious Native American sketch that might just be a treasure map. As they piece together clues, dodge bullies, and navigate the perils of high school wrestling, their adventure leads them deep into the heart of Nez Perce country-and into a cave filled with bats, booby traps, and the promise of gold. Blending laugh-out-loud humor with gritty realism, The Nez Perce Treasure is a rollicking tale of survival, friendship, and the search for meaning in the most unexpected places. With unforgettable characters, daring rescues, and a dash of spiritual insight, this is a treasure hunt you won't want to miss. This book will delight those who enjoy an adventurous spirit, blending humor and hardship in support of a central quest that drives the plot. It is designed to intrigue readers who enjoy authentic character-driven stories that blend action, heart, and wit.
