Little Spirit

Two kids. One secret tunnel. A race for a lost treasure.
A fast, feel-good treasure-hunt mystery about friendship, kindness and hope. Perfect for ages 8–10 who love short chapters, puzzles and exciting (but safe) peril.

When Little Spirit, a boy far from home, hides in an ancient church, he meets Eliza…and a mystery older than the church itself. Legend says a golden treasure lies hidden in the crypt. To find it, they must follow a dusty map, brave a secret tunnel and outsmart a mysterious treasure hunter hot on their heels.

The treasure could change everything, but the greatest find may be what Little Spirit discovers about friendship, courage and kindness.
