The Story of the Treasure Seekers

Reach for this book when your child is facing a significant family transition, such as financial changes or the loss of a parent, and needs to see that resilience can be found through humor and imagination. The story follows the six Bastable siblings as they concoct creative, often hilariously unsuccessful schemes to restore their family's lost fortune. While the children deal with very real hardships including being raised by a single father in 'straitened circumstances,' the tone remains lighthearted and adventurous. It is a wonderful choice for teaching children that while we cannot always control our circumstances, we can control our attitudes and how we support those we love. The book celebrates the bond of siblings and the importance of maintaining one's honor and integrity even when times are tough.
