Ghost Town Treasure (ABC Bookbox Journal)
28 journalers for this copy...
"Gold in the cave" - those are the words Ty sees written in an old frontier diary. The cave is somewhere near the ghost town where Ty lives. But how can he find it?
Ty and his friends, Nora and Paul, have only one good clue. And there are only a few days left to search for the hidden treasure.
I got this book for Rachel. She has read it and decided it's ready to travel.

I hope you didn't think I was bugging you about mailing this box! I knew that you had it, and you have had some big changes going on in your life. I would rather it be safe at your house, than lost in the mail.
I'm looking forward to receiving the box. I appreciate you releasing the books that started out in the box. You don't have to send me anything special. I appreciate your friendship and your family is SOO much more important than a bookbox.
You are my friend, otherwise I wouldn't have personally invited you to join this bookbox.
