A delightfully mysterious saga of puzzle solving

Treasure Forest is an adventure novel intended for young adults, yet appealing to all ages. A brother and sister are left a mysterious challenge by their recently deceased grandmother - solve the riddle of a hidden treasure within a pond. Their quest will cause them to witness the mysteries of the forest, meet a paraplegic private eye with a three-legged bloodhound, and discover a secret that will change their lives forever. A delightfully mysterious saga of puzzle solving, character building, and the inward resolve to see an adventure through to its conclusion.

LOVELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I simply could NOT put this book down. I look forward to its sequels, Cat is a fantastic writer.

Fresh

Cat doesn't take us back to our childhood with Treasure Forest, she returns our childhood to us. Reading this book gives us space to pause, to connect with that deep down inside spot where everything is fresh and still, the place where we live and breath...

Deserves to become a classic!

As a retired teacher and grandmother, I love juvenile literature and this is among the best of the best.I am so impressed with the beautiful writing. I could hardly put it down. The characters seem so real and I can really relate to the children's love of the forest. How great that this is a trilogy.
