Smells Like Treasure

by Suzanne Selfors

Homer Winslow Pudding, nephew of the late, great treasure hunter Drake Pudding, received, upon his uncle’s untimely demise, a dog named Dog and a gold membership coin for L.O.S.T., a secret treasure hunting organization. When a letter from L.O.S.T. arrives, stating simply, “Your time has come,” Homer can’t wait to get started. His membership in L.O.S.T. will help finance his search for the treasure of legendary pirate Rumpold Smeller, and Dog will get to use his secret skill—smelling treasure, which is the only thing he can, in fact, smell. Unfortunately, attempting to claim his seat in L.O.S.T. turns out to be more difficult than he imagined. His one-time friend, Lorelei, stole the membership coin in 2010’s Smells Like Dog, and now she’s back, claiming Drake actually bequeathed the coin to her. She demands that L.O.S.T. let her challenge Homer for the seat, and alas, the bylaws support her request. What follows is a funny, suspenseful, adventure that stretches the borders of the imagination. A heartwarming and quirky cast of characters add to the fun. Rumpold Smeller’s tale is woven throughout Homer’s, a story within a story with its own delightful surprise ending. Homer and Dog are a strange, silly, and loveable duo.

This one isn't published yet. It will be out in May!
