The Loch Ness Code

For centuries, the legend of the Loch Ness Monster has captivated the world. But for the Edmondson siblings-Emma, Max, Leo, Sophie, and Ava-it becomes more than just a myth when a cryptic package arrives at their doorstep, containing an ancient map and a mysterious artifact tied to Loch Ness.

Their family vacation to Scotland quickly transforms into a high-stakes adventure as the siblings uncover a trail of ancient carvings, hidden chambers, and Celtic legends. At the heart of it all lies the "Heart of the Loch," a relic with the power to maintain-or disrupt-the balance of nature itself. But they're not the only ones searching for it. A relentless group of treasure hunters, led by the ruthless Carter, will stop at nothing to claim the relic for themselves.

Guided by the artifact and the cryptic clues left by those who came before, the siblings dive into the depths of Loch Ness-literally-only to discover the creature they once believed to be a legend is very real. Nessie, the ancient guardian of the loch, isn't just protecting the relic; it's safeguarding the loch's secrets and its delicate balance.

Faced with challenges of bravery, teamwork, and trust, the Edmondsons must outsmart their rivals, earn the guardian's trust, and uncover the truth behind the relic. But as they come closer to solving the mystery, they learn that some secrets are meant to stay hidden-and that legends are far more powerful than they imagined.

The Loch Ness Code is a thrilling middle-grade adventure filled with heart-pounding action, ancient myths, and the unbreakable bond of family.
