Fourteen-year-old Martin Gunnarsson and his family are moving back to the decrepit family farm, where his ancestors died of diphtheria in 1865. The only one who had survived was Martin’s father; a baby found in the arms of his older sister Cora. Yet somehow, rumors of a treasure on the farm also survived. And when Martin discovers Aunt Cora’s diary in a musty trunk, the adventure begins.—Breana Roy
