There is sadness and laughter in this exciting, twisting adventure about three boys, two grandpas, a map and some hidden treasure.  The lively and believable characters defy stereotype and maintain integrity throughout with themes about inter-generational relationships, friendship, memory and self discovery.  The book contains musical and mathematical annotations which add interest and depth to the text.  There is also a hark back to fairy tale reminiscent of the Grimms’ ‘Aschenputtel’ and ‘The Juniper Tree’ as the main character converses with the tree planted on his brother’s grave.
