Michael Stadther's A Treasure's Trove, published in 2004, started a nationwide treasure hunt for $1,000,000 worth of jeweled pins. Evan and Randy Pischel of Mason City found a bejeweled snail at Lake Anita State Park, right here in Iowa. This fall A Treasure's Trove presents Secrets of the Alchemist Dar -- a world wide treasure hunt for $2,000,000 in rings designed by Aaron Basha. The new book and hunt begins officially on Tuesday, September 26. We're having a party with Evan and Randy Pischel at 7pm that day. Be here when we open the box of books, and get ready to start solving the puzzles.

We've ordered some other Treasure related books for this fall, just for kids. How to be a Pirate in Seven Days or Less guides kids in finding the right clothes and picking their pirate names. And from the folks who brought us Every Kid needs a Marshmellow Shooter comes Every Kid Needs a Treasure Hunt!
