Danny Calloway and the Puzzle House

Danny Calloway, a thirteen-year-old boy with a natural gift for numbers and cryptology, receives news that will change the course of his life forever. His grandfather - a man he can barely remember from childhood - has left him three odd birthday presents in his will: an old pocket watch, an unusual looking key and the deed to a fifty acre estate in the Oregon wilderness. Joined by his dim-witted cousin Sam and Sam's very pretty friend Molly, Danny must spend his summer vacation fixing up the house with his father and uncle. It doesn't take the kids long to figure out that the house has more to it than just dust and dirt, and a local town legend about the property sparks their interest even more. As hidden keyholes, secret passageways and codes begin to pop up that only Danny can figure out, the kids are swept into an exciting tapestry of mystery, suspense and adventure. They must unlock The Puzzle House before it's too late. Indiana Jones meets The Goonies in this original tale. Full of head scratching riddles, hilarious characters and a storyline over three thousand years old, readers are going to finish the book clamoring for more.
