The Lost Treasure
A long time ago King Louis XIV of France recruited hundreds of young women to sail across the Atlantic Ocean to Quebec. These brave women are called daughters of the king, les filles du roi. This story is about two Maine kids who are descended from a king’s daughter. She is Jeanne
Savonnet, best friends with the queen. Queen Maria Theresa was sad to lose her friend, but knew it was important to populate the New World with good women. On Jeanne’s last day in France, the queen gave her a dazzling gold necklace with an eye-popping red ruby. Now, Maine kids Josette and Quince, leave their home in Bar Harbor to visit an eccentric great aunt in Quebec where they learn this very royal necklace has gone missing. Determined to find it, the kids hunt for clues in the maze of rooms of their aunt’s peculiar manor house and in the hostile lighthouse overlooking the river. The crumbling stone boathouse is forbidden, but the
kids sneak in anyway and search inside Jeanne’s old sea chest. Soon they realize a shadowy stranger is stalking them. Who is this dark lurking stranger?
Follow Josette and Quince, and their Hero Dog Hugo. See if you can crack the mystifying case of The Lost Treasure.
