The rollicking Pathfinders treasure hunt continues as the five campers from Mystery of the Moon Tower get swept away in a new search for clues that may lead to untold riches hidden away long ago. This action-packed graphic novel is full of fun, magic, and friendship—sure to appeal to fans of the Last Kids on Earth and Lumberjanes series.
Fresh from their hair-raising adventures in The Mystery of the Moon Tower, Kyle, Vic, Beth, Harry, and Nate are now hot on the trail of something big! A secret staircase leads down into the unknown, setting them on an exciting chase for clues left by the wealthy explorer Henry Merriweather, who was rumored to have hidden away a priceless treasure. Are the legends real? Where will the five friends end up? And what dangers will they encounter along the way? Because as they've come to learn, everything comes at a price...
In this exciting graphic novel adventure series, richly illustrated by Eisner-award-winning artist Steve Hamaker, the Pathfinders go ever deeper into the labyrinthian Merriweather mystery—and hope they'll come out the other side!

"A legendary hidden treasure, a guy who collects stuff in a mysterious castle, and five cool kids trying to connect the dots and save the day. What's not to love here?"
—Max Brallier, author of the Last Kids on Earth series

      "Plus Ultra!" The young Pathfinders--Kyle, Beth, Vic, Harry, and Nate--push forward to unravel the mysteries of Windrose Valley and its enigmatic protector, Henry Merriweather. The adventure resumes where it left off at the end of series opener The Mystery of the Moon Tower (2020). Having uncovered a secret staircase in a forbidding cave, the Pathfinders descend into an immense crystal cavern and follow the pawprints of Merriweather's faithful pup, Asher. With the treasures they've discovered in hand, including Merriweather's journal, the five explorers navigate an underground trail network in search of Windrose's mythic treasure. Danger lurks in every nook: towering, threatening waves, weird weather, onerous puffs of noxious air, and a fearsome creature known as Creeper. As the Pathfinders solve Merriweather's riddles and scour the local historical society's archives for more clues, they unearth a sinister plot to exploit Windrose's minerals (and perhaps more). Like its predecessor, Sedita and Seraydarian's plot packs a ton of humor, mystery, and action to enthrall fans of fantastical fun adventures. A diverse set of characters--new and old--as well as a commitment to the series' weirdness, magical forays into time warps, and an appreciation for historical curiosities continue to make this tale a worthwhile endeavor. Hamaker's artwork, meanwhile, offers just the right amount of zany energy in its paneling and its eye-catching use of colors and secondary details. A fabulous cliffhanger ending will leave readers wanting more. Marvelously clever and cool. (Graphic fantasy. 8-12)
