If Zed and Gabe can combine their strengths, survive Sams wrath and best the greedy historian whos also hot on the books trail, they just might find the greatest treasure of all.Co-authored by child-parent duo Basil Sylvester and Kevin Sylvester, this is a vibrant and enormous-hearted story about friendship, identity and belonging.
