Twelve-year-old Josh and his father arrive in the very small, run-down town of Oasis, Arizona for the summer — Josh’s father for work and Josh for fun. But Oasis is poorly named. It’s hot, dry, and certainly not much fun. As Josh explores the dusty little town, he uncovers a heartbreaking story that has paralyzed the entire community — the previous summer, in hopes of finding a long lost shipment of gold, three kids set out across the desert never to return. Amidst this gloomy place Josh discovers a few kindred outcasts who are also willing to resist the dreary routine. When this secluded group stumbles upon a map of their own, they do the unthinkable — they go after the treasure themselves. With an inept search party on their trail, and plagued by storms, crooks, and the land itself, they slowly make their way to the heart of the desert. Will they find the lost gold, meet the same fate as the missing kids, or discover something completely unexpected?

Gold? Seriously? Brad & Kristen Everheart are travelling on a family trip when they suddenly find themselves flung into the past.... again. This time, even their careful preparation and research can’t help them, and it’s only by sheer luck that they realize they’ve stumbled into the first discovery of gold in North America.When they learn that the land-owner, Reed—who doesn’t yet know about the gold (and they're not at liberty to tell him)—is considering selling his farm, Kristen and Brad rush to do what they can to dissuade him from this plan. And they succeed. Problem solved, right?Wrong. That’s where the kidnapping comes in. As usual, adventure and danger are in the mix when Kristen and Brad are on one of their time-travel experiences.Target audience for this novel is ages 11 and up. Approximately 44,300 words.
