But kids have a different sense about things than adults, and the Drew children agree among themselves that there is definitely something special about this map that they have found. Even though they know that there is something unique about this treasure, they don’t know that this relic is actually more just like they suspect.
The map is actually a key. It is the only way that a certain grail can be found, a grail that was hidden a very long time ago. It will provide power that will be able to become the source of strength that may allow the Dark to finally be battled. This is the name for the evil forces that exist in this world.
The children are on a quest to track down the grail, but will they be able to find it? Already the dark is rushing to get in the way of their goal.

I love this series! I read it over and over again as a kid, along with Lloyd Alexander’s books. Both series are timeless, and the authors amazing.
