Nicholas
is
a

and

with
no
friends
and
a
huge
problem:
His
father
has
lost
his
job,
and
they'll
have
to
sell
their
house,
which
holds
the
only
memory
Nicholas
has
of
his
younger
brother.
Just
in
time,
Nicholas's
senile
grandfather
arrives,
filled
with
tales
of
priceless
treasure
he
has
hidden
somewhere
in
town--but
where?
With
the
help
of
misfit
classmates,
two
grandfathers,
a
ghosthouse,
hidden
messages,
séances,
and
an
uncanny
mind
for
numbers,
Nicholas
stages
a
nursing
home
breakout,
tangles
with
high
schoolers
in
smugglers'
tunnels,
and
gets
swept
up
in
a
duel
with
the
biggest
bullies
in
the
neighborhood.
Will
it
be
enough
to
find
the
treasure
and
save
his
house?
