A really fun game that lets treasure build up when you're not using it. Level up characters and equip them with items to defeat the bad guys.

Saw this movie for the very first time just before Christmas, 2017. Lovely little gem of a film. Judy Garland is mesmerizing, and Margaret O'Brian is a treasure. One of my new favorites.
  
When sorting books in the basement of the town library, Ricky Kidd stumbles on what he thinks might be a treasure map. Soon, the entire town is buzzing about it, and the race is on to find the treasure that the town miser hid before his death. Can Ricky and his friends find the treasure first? Is there even a treasure to find?

It’s been a while since I first read this series or revisited the characters, but I quickly fell back under their spell. The characters are absolutely wonderful with hints at hidden layers. The plot is strong with wonderful clues and twists before the end. And there are some great laughs and nice thoughtful moments along the way as well. The target middle grade audience will love it, and any mystery reader will enjoy it as well.
