Description
If there’s lost
treasure to be found, she’s the one to find it. Tiernay West, Professional
Adventurer—at your service.
Moving with the stealth of a great cat of the African plains, Tiernay West can
track a bicycle over dry pavement and infiltrate secret organizations far
beyond bedtime. She has little use for playing by the rules, doing as she’s
told, or spending time with her mother’s dull new boyfriend and his
computer-obsessed son.
Tiernay may be months away from (elementary school) graduation, but she already
knows what she wants out of life: to become a professional adventurer, just
like the heroine of her father’s best-selling novels. She isn’t scared of
anything, and when she catches wind of possible buried treasure in her own hometown,
she’s on the job. She knows this could be her big break.
If along the way Tiernay finds herself running for her life, scaling cliffs in
the middle of the night, and evading her not-at-all-adventuresome mother,
that’s all in a day’s work—and totally part of the plan.
(Originally published as Secret of the Three Treasures—now available as
an ebook for the first time!)
Advance Praise
“Tiernay’s
voice is fresh and funny.”
–Horn Book Guide
“Tiernay
is an irrepressible role model in her unwavering self-confidence, intellectual
curiosity, and sense of humor. Like the waiter who remembers she likes her soda
with lime, cherries, and lemon wedges, readers will not forget Tiernay West
anytime soon.”
–School Library Journal
“Her
focused determination overriding all obstacles and mishaps, Tiernay makes an
appealing protagonist ... Fine fare for recent Cam Jansen and Encyclopedia
Brown graduates.”
–Kirkus Reviews
“Tiernay’s
fierce self-confidence and individuality will appeal to many readers.”
–Booklist
“Using
her father's pseudonym, West, Tiernay is ready to make the leap from being a
trainee to a full-fledged professional adventurer. Ready to have her ‘Tiernay
West’ business cards printed up, she dreams of living on the edge, climbing the
world's tallest mountains, or taming wild tigers in India ... Thoroughly
entertaining.”
