Hidden Treasure: A timeless children's adventure story from the bestselling author of The Miniaturist

Ages 8 to 11

From New York Times bestselling author Jessie Burton comes a stunning story of friendship, priceless treasure, and powerful magic.

For those who live on the banks of the Thames, the river is a living, breathing thing. It can take your treasures. It can hide your treasures. And sometimes it can give them back.

Bo and Billy are two children who have never met. Billy is an orphan. Bo's dad died when she was small, and now her brother is off to war. Both are poor, but they’ve each found a piece of a priceless treasure given up by the river. A treasure which—when the pieces are reunited—holds the power to give one of them back the most precious thing they’ve ever lost. But should the treasure be put back together again? And why has the river given it up now?

For fans of Katherine Rundell and Philip Pullman's The Ruby in the Smoke, Hidden Treasure is a classic in the making, with a rip-roaring plot, spine-tingling twists, and an unforgettable cast of characters.
