Author Map
When I was in elementary school, we read a book that was a real treasure map, what was it?
I remember the library in elementary school and we read a book that was a real life treasure map. I think the author has two books like this but I do not remember anything about them. I think one was found and the other has not yet been found. What is the name of the book and author?
