The summary got it right – it is like reading about a young Indiana Jones going on an adventure and finding a treasure with the help of his great team of friends like in The Goonies. While reading the book, I kept thinking how this must be what Indiana Jones was like as a kid. Jack finds out about a treasure from his grandfather so he’s on the search for the treasure along with some kids he became friends with after moving to a new place. Each person in the group of friends brings something to the group in order to fulfill their quest for their treasure. And what young Indiana Jones story would be complete without a villain! Things definitely seemed convenient at times, but I don’t think that distracts from the fun of the book. It even comes with a code for the kids to crack at the beginning of each chapter for a more added fun. The author captures the thoughts of young children quite well, especially the thoughts of Jack. I recommend this book to elementary age kids and to adults who like to read about a quick adventure.
