Book One: The Lost Treasure Series
12-year-old Jerry hunts for a century-old treasure that leads him to a modern-day conspiracy. A real-world adventure with themes of friendship, bravery, growth and resilience.
Jerry Singh is officially the unluckiest kid in Houston.
Framed by bullies and suspended from school, he’s shipped off to Aspen Valley, Colorado, to live with his uncle. All Jerry wants is to hide in his Marty the Explorer comics, but the Rocky Mountains have other plans.
When Jerry, his sporty cousin Nora, and tech-whiz Rovin decode a 100-year-old journal, they set off to find a legendary stash of SPANISH GOLD. But the clues lead them to Porterhouse Slab, a mountain that is hiding a deadly modern secret. Stumbling upon an airfield built into a cave, the trio discovers a gold smuggling operation right under the town’s nose. Trapped in the pitch-black tunnels with armed men closing in, Jerry has to ask himself: What would Marty do? It’s time to put down the comics and become the hero—if he can survive the night.

I absolutely loved Jerry & The Lost Treasure! Sam did a phenomenal job with this book. The story was engaging from beginning to end, with awesome world-building, memorable characters, and great character development throughout.
It’s clear how much thought and creativity went into creating this world, and I’m genuinely excited to see where the story goes next. I’ll definitely be picking up the next books!

This is a meaningful story about bullying, confidence, and finding people who can support you. The story goes through different stages of Jerry’s life, from hiding in the library because of the bullies to moving to another city and getting support from his family. I especially liked the treasure hunt scene, which made the story more interesting. I also liked how Jerry stayed careful and suspicious about Prof. Jones, which eventually led to the discovery of the smuggling and the rescue of an FBI agent. Overall, this was an enjoyable adventure to read, with a strong message about becoming more confident and believing in yourself.

Firstly, this turned out to be a surprisingly enjoyable adventure story with a strong emotional core.
Jerry’s experiences with bullying made me sympathise with him, especially because the adults around him initially fail to see what is really happening. His move to Aspen Valley completely changes the direction of his life. And I liked seeing him become more confident as he meets people who actually value him.
Then, the mystery surrounding the gold kept me interested, but Professor Jones was the character I watched most closely. His behaviour felt suspicious long before the truth came out, so I enjoyed seeing Jerry trust his instincts instead of ignoring them.
The ending was much bigger than I expected! It turned a treasure hunt into an investigation involving a kidnapped FBI agent and a hidden smuggling operation. I thought this worked particularly well because Jerry’s curiosity and persistence ultimately become the key to solving the mystery.
Overall, I liked the idea that courage isn’t necessarily about being fearless. I think this is a great book for people of all ages to enjoy!
