Reach for this book when your child is feeling the weight of adult problems, such as a parent's job loss, a family move, or the confusion of a grandparent's declining health. It is a deeply resonant choice for children who process the world through logic, music, or patterns and feel like they do not quite fit in with their peers. Nicholas is an eleven year old genius who must team up with a group of outcasts to find his grandfather's hidden treasure to save their family home. This story expertly balances high stakes adventure with the heavy emotional reality of grief and financial stress. It is a secular, realistic look at how families navigate mistakes and memory loss, ultimately teaching that value is found in people rather than things. It is best suited for mature middle grade readers aged 10 to 12 who can handle themes of incarceration and dementia.
