Description
It's the last week of the summer holidays and 12-year-old Lou Elliott and her friends Jack, also 12, and his younger siblings David and Emily go camping on farmland near the historic city of Lichfield in Staffordshire - hunting for missing treasure.
Bookworm David believes that a long-lost Anglo Saxon hoard of gold and silver remains undiscovered near where the world-famous Staffordshire Hoard was dug up in 2009. The others think that’s unlikely but it's a good excuse to get together again and have fun away from the grown-ups.
Emily is scared they’ll encounter danger again. The others reassure her, but who knows? And when 14-year-old farmer’s daughter Becky takes a dislike to them, there's sure to be trouble brewing of some kind.

Extract from The Missing Treasure:
The sky in the east was pink and grey, streaked with yellow. The sun was about to rise above the hills but hadn't done so yet. Without needing to look at her watch, Lou knew that it must be about 6am. Half a dozen clangs of the church bell confirmed that. She leaned against a tree and watched wistfully as the golden orb of the sun appeared, sending forth warm beams of light and making the spire and weather vane on the village church shine. It was sure to be another nice day and pretty hot too, she guessed. They would do well to make an early start with the metal detector.
