The Secret of Crossbone Hill by Wilson Gage
Chapter book for young readers about a discovery of a treasure map in South Carolina.
The illustrations in this book are great. The story is also really fun. I'm listening to [b:The Hobbit or There and Back Again|5907|The Hobbit or There and Back Again|J.R.R. Tolkien|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1546071216l/5907._SY75_.jpg|1540236] and it is super distracting. I enjoy reading a one off mystery.
Journey Outside is a strange, wonderful, and surprising tale of a young man's quest to find truth, beauty, and a "better place" for his grandfather, father, and the rest of his underground river Raft People.
Dilar's journey leads to encounters with an unusual range of people, from the living nearly-dead to a wonderful female friend who will miss him and on to a deceitful bird feeder and a wily self-serving goatherd
who may have offered the elusive truth.
While the story is gently compelling, it is the beauty of the Rocco Negri woodcuts that raises the quality of the book.… (more)
