Fifteen-year-old Stacy questions the strange world of high school, family, friends, love, and her role in the universe.
People tell you high school’s so great and wonderful, but they’re lying. It’s mostly horrible and full of disappointment. It sucks. Your best friend abandons you. The jerk you’re in love with pretends to be into you, and then the big dump. The boy you’ve really clicked with as a friend decides to go all crushy over you, so you break his heart just like yours was—smashed into little pieces. Your sister goes mental , and you get involved with an older guy who’s even crazier than she is (who you know is a very bad idea, but you do it anyway). Math only adds another stink of failure to the whole thing.
High school blows. Just ask freshman Stacy. She’d want you to know.

I'll never forget my father's dying request: "The disk is near Lima. Find it!"
The Conquistadors never found the Treasure. Long before the Spaniards arrived in Peru, the Incas had built a massive pyramid on a fog-shrouded island in the Pacific. From Cuzco to Lima, they moved the gold under cover of darkness and carried it to the island in their reed boats. It was hidden deep underground, watched over by special guardians and protected by a complex and ingenious clockwork mechanism of stone gears, weights and levers.
Despite the threat of torture and death, the location was never revealed. Those who knew of it did not speak, paying the ultimate price for their silence. The precious secret was protected — always — regardless of the cost. The Treasure remained undisturbed for more than three centuries.
I only learned of its existence after Angus Callahan and his little monkey wandered into my life on that gray November morning.

When her parents’ private plane disappears in the Voodoo Swamp, Robin’s uncle moves into the multi-million dollar Sherwood Estate as guardian. It doesn’t take Robin long to figure out there’s something not quite right about Uncle Conrad — besides having a metal claw where his left hand used to be.

In order to escape his devious plan and its deadly consequences, the bayou may be Robin’s only chance.
