The Last Treasure

I have only read a single, slim book in the last two weeks or so. To be truthful, I have been reading various issues of National Geographic magazines, their dates ranging from 2001 to 2005, with gaps in the middle. My dad had gotten me a new subscription, but it had been a month at least and, well, I got desperate.

But then, out of the blue (or maybe the mailman’s bag) my first issue showed up just a day or two ago. Hallelujah! Yeehaw! Party!

The book I did read was The Last Treasure by Janet S. Anderson. It isn’t really the sort of book I tend to read (I like warrior maidens and dragons and whatnot) but it is still a good book. It gives us a glimpse of the Smith family, a family with one very determined ancestor – John Matthew Smith. John really just wants his family to be happy, but money is slowly but steadily running out and they family members are constantly quarrelling among themselves, single arguments lasting years, even decades. He recruits two cousins, fifth cousins to be exact, to find his last treasure. I suggest you read it. It’s pretty good. Read it now, in the heat of summer, when those blazing days of August keep us inside with our air conditioning and our ice cold drinks. Speaking of which, I would really like a lemonade…
