About The Forbidden Treasure: A Mystery Lake Adventure
Mystery Lake was a very old, very boring looking town as far as Alice was concerned. But if that were true – if it were not in fact hiding a very exciting and dangerous secret – we wouldn’t have written a book about the adventures she and her twin brother, Jax, had when they moved there. (Not just inspired by a real kid’s ideas; actually developed, written, and illustrated by real kids.) It’s no spoiler to tell you that they found a time machine. It was tucked away in the back of the high school’s science lab. And that’s just chapter one. Jax and his new friends in the local Detectives Club couldn’t wait to try out the time machine. Alice wasn’t so sure. But the Detectives Club was eager to try to solve a 150-year-old mystery. They just knew it would lead to untold riches if they could only discover what had happened to the lost gold of miner-turned-millionaire, Alistair McQueen. If that was all that happened in this story, it would be rather dull compared to what actually transpired. The Forbidden Treasure is the collaboration of Nathan Willard with his daughter Cosette and son Cillian - ages 8 and 6 when this three year-long odyssey began with a spark of inspiration by then aspiring author Cosette. With the help of their father, Cosette and Cillian developed the main characters and outlined the story. Then Cosette would write a chapter, Nathan would expand on what she wrote, and Cosette would do an edit. Finally, illustrations were added by all three – so, you know, drawings that are supposed to be by kids, actually are drawn by kids.
