A woodland map leads to an unexpected treasure

A message in a bottle sends Hector Fox and his friends into the woods in search of hidden treasure. Their expedition takes a difficult turn when coyotes take the map and trap them in a tunnel, making cooperation and resourcefulness central to the escape. The adventure pairs a mystery-driven search with the familiar picture-book question of what treasure can mean. As the fourth book in Astrid Sheckels’s Hector Fox series, it brings back Hector and several returning animal companions, while leaving room for surprise friends along the way.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 who enjoy animal characters and woodland adventures.
  • Young readers interested in mystery quests, hidden maps, and stories about teamwork.
  • Families following the Hector Fox picture-book series.
