Treasure Tracks was a charming adventure story that swept me away on a sunny afternoon. Following 12-year-old Fin on his quest for long-lost treasure alongside his Abuelo Kiki was a delightful ride. The book struck a perfect balance between fun and excitement, making it an enjoyable and engaging read.

I appreciated how the author incorporated themes of family, determination, and resilience throughout the story. Fin's determination to continue the treasure hunt after his Abuelo's stroke tugged at my heartstrings and added depth to his character. The underwater world of the Florida Keys was beautifully described, and I could easily visualize the settings and immerse myself in the adventure. Though the story didn't delve into heavy themes, it was a great escape, allowing me to embark on a thrilling journey alongside Fin and his Abuelo.

This one didn't ring true to me. While I appreciate a good treasure hunting story, I'm not sure this one works. It introduces the strained parental relationship as a solid complication but the resolution of that element doesn't work for me. The adults aren't complex characters and serve more as filler for the treasure plot than anything else.

This is an adventurous title perfect for reluctant readers. Kids will want to go on their own diving quests after reading this one.

Full review will be on my Goodreads page.

I felt this was a good coming of middle school age book. I wouldn't necessarily put it at middle school range, but slightly younger based on the way the plot flowed, the characters, and simplistic. That being sad, I think it'd be a fantastic summer read for an elementary school age child going into middle school.

Treasure Tracks is a story filled with wonder and adventure! I loved being submerged in water with Fin and his discoveries. The story behind the treasure his Abuelo searched for was fascinating. The setting of the florida keys instantly made me want to visit again. The story takes place against the backdrop of hurricane Irma and the subsequent devastation that resulted. The family dynamic and the father’s growth throughout the story was satisfying. Fin’s incentive for his determination for diving shined through. I loved reading this story so much! Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for the arc!

A tiny treasure hunter in the making. Twelve-year-old Fernando “Fin” joins his grandfather on a quest to find lost treasure. Young fans of Indiana Jones will love this ocean based action movie in a book.

Abuelo is left injured after their first outing and Fin is joined by his father to help finish the search. But his dad isn’t exactly the adventurous type. More of the nagging nanny.

I love the Latinx representation in this book. Cultural elements like family ties and strong relationships with grandparents is front and center. Having a young boy as the main character with such a special bond with his family is such a crucial thing for boys to see at this influential age.

Bravery and love, adventure and mystery. A good one for all to read.

Treasure Tracks by Sallie Anne Rodriguez was a fun and quick read. You will not want to put this book down once you start. Make sure to go out and purchase this book on June 28th 2022. Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group, Farrar, Straus and Giroux for this advanced copy.

I loved this adventurous, engaging story. The setting is vibrant and I felt homesick for the Florida Keys. The fast pace, immersive mystery, and relatable main character will draw in young readers. Highly recommended!

I received this book for free for an honest review from netgalley #netgalley

My son loves this book the adventure was page turning fun!

Fin and his abuelo share a love of boating, scuba diving, and treasure hunting. When Abuelo falls ill during one of their treasure hunting trips, Fin must convince his reluctant father to help him find the treasure in hopes that it will help his grandfather to heal.

The treasure, lost when a train was derailed in a hurricane, was an interesting premise based on a real event, and I enjoyed the author's note about it at the beginning. This book was a quick read with lots of adventure, though the characterization felt a little thin to me. I do think it could be a good pick for a younger middle-grade reader (who is transitioning from chapter books to middle-grade novels) or a good pick for reluctant readers. Would recommend for libraries looking to bulk up their transitional/reluctant reader collections or libraries looking to add new ocean-themed books as part of the 2022 CSLP: Oceans of Possibility.
