Product Description
Sister and brother sleuths Willow and Rick are back! This time they're searching for a lost boulder full of silver, as big as a truck. Everyone they meet in Kaslo, B.C., seems to have a secret. Why is a young woman spying on them? Where is the other half of the treasure map? And is there really a ghost on the SS Moyie? As they hunt deeper and deeper, the discover disturbing things about the past and try to find a way to help new friends regain what they lost.
The first book in the Adventure.Net series, The Lost Sketch, featured Rick and Willow finding a mysterious picture in a boxcar in Ontario, meeting an art forger, and racing against time to find out if the art was created by one of the Group of Seven.

After Andrea trained as a teacher and David studied to be a geologist, they moved to Canada in 1967 to pursue their interests.

Andrea's work has been recognized by the Canadian Children's Book Centre, the Canadian Library Association, and nominated for the Sheila Egoff Award for Children's Literature and the Ruth Schwartz Award. She has been short-listed twice for Silver Birch awards as well as being a finalist in a CBC writing competition. David has written, co-written, or edited ten books mostly on science for adults, with recent books about dinosaurs and whales.
