This book is a wonderful read for anyone seeking a lighthearted mystery. Even though this book is a prequel, it also is delightful as a stand-alone novel. The drama and intrigue never lets up in the fast-paced narrative of a brilliant young boy trying to survive and find a lost treasure.

It's been too long since I've read the original series, and unfortunately, I don't think I'm into it anymore.

A perfect prequel to the series. I only wish there was another book or two about Nicholas as he grows up and begins his mission. I’d like to know what happens to the friendships he developed in this book.
