The Treasure Seekers

The Bastable children have a problem: their family fortune is gone, and their house is falling down around them. But they are not the type to sit around and mope. They are the Treasure Seekers! Led by the bold and adventurous narrator (who tries very hard to remain modest), the six siblings invent wild, hilarious, and often disastrous schemes to get rich quick. From digging for gold in the garden to trying to sell their poetry to a newspaper, their good intentions always lead to chaos.

Now, you can join the Bastable family in their quest for fortune. This is the ultimate “Gang of Friends” book. You can cast an entire group of siblings, cousins, or best friends to play the roles of the six children. The best part? The main character is also the “Author” of the story, meaning the child you cast as the lead will be telling the tale in their own voice.

This classic story is famous for sounding exactly like real children think and talk. It is funny, heartwarming, and full of the kind of imaginative play that every child recognizes. It is a perfect gift for a large family or a close-knit group of friends who are always getting into trouble together.
