A BOX OF CLUES. A MISSING PLANE. THEN A MAP HIGHLIGHTING THE ROUTE TO A MYSTERIOUS LOCATION MARKED WITH A MESSAGE: “SHIPMENT #35 - GOLD.”
Before Gramps died, he left Nate a mystery to solve and a secret to keep from Gram. A missing plane. Lost gold. A town called Paradise. Nudged by an eerie sense of Gramps’ presence, Nate and his friend Simon sneak away on a Greyhound bus to find lost treasure before Gram’s nosy neighbour can beat them to it.
Adventure, mystery and the supernatural converge as Nate and Simon embark on a quest that seems to come from beyond the grave.

Reviews
“i'd recommend this to anyone with a sense of adventure. It's good, clean fun. Here's looking at you, kid. 5 Stars."
"Missing in Paradise would be perfect for the classroom...It's a great option for middle grades students, especially those who are reluctant readers."
