Lindie Lou learns about the HMS Buffalo shipwreck and wonders if this stone was left behind by the crew. While looking for answers, Lindie Lou, Diamond, and their friends visit a local museum. The helpful manager introduces them to a Maori sand artist who tells them about a real lost treasure worth looking for. Join the crew and a girl with a passion for details, as they leave no stone unturned, in their quest to find a rare island treasure. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) lessons highlighted in red, endearing characters, adorable color illustrations, creative fonts, and large amounts of white-space make the Lindie Lou Adventure Series non-threatening and a tool that helps build stamina for all. This series has proven to be a classroom favorite as a read aloud, with small groups, or for large group instruction.

The Comic Sans font (14 pt.) makes this the perfect choice for dyslexic, autistic, sight impaired, or other special needs students. The Lindie Lou Adventure Series is purposefully written for both boys and girls to enjoy. Readers will remember Lindie Lou's bravery when faced with fears of their own. They will also see SEL examples when Lindie Lou develops self-esteem, courage, determination, and compassion for others.
