Publisher’s Book Summary: A girl tackles a summer filled with mystery, treasure, and learning to be her true self in this middle grade adventure that’s a modern-day Holes set on a dusty dude ranch in Montana.
Becca Soloway’s perfect summer goes up in smoke when her mom flees a looming divorce by dragging Becca to a Montana resort. To make matters worse, her mom’s hasty booking lands them not at a spa, but an aging dude ranch called Far Away.
Becca is miserable until she meets the wrangler’s son, Jon, who shows her what might be the first clue to a century-old mystery: the lost treasure of a Robin Hood–like outlaw known as Pearlhandle Pete.
As they slowly uncover the true history of Pete, venture into the mountains, search haunted ghost towns, and are threatened by a treasure-hunter-social-media star, Becca discovers that treasure is in the eye of the beholder and the important things in life are always worth fighting for.

I love mysteries!
Me, too!!! Thanks!
A fun read for the boys.
Thanks! I love Jon as a character and hope the boys do, too.
To fine the treasure, I would do research, I would explore the area, and then I would ask experienced people who have long lived in the region for their help.
Yes – and follow those clues and riddles and maps!
I’d probably do a lot of research to learn more about the treasure, maybe look for an experienced relic hunter to help me solve the mystery, and then find the specific area in my hometown where it originated from.
Like a cache quest! So fun!
I would do the research
That’s definitely one way to find the treasure!
Sounds like a wonderful story I’d love to read!
