The result of his efforts is “A Treasure’s Trove,” a fairy tale that encourages careful reading, puzzle-solving and exploring.
The tale revolves around twelve different forest creatures whose mates are crystallized and disappear during a strange dusk that affects the forest in the evenings. The creatures team up with Zac, a woodcarver, Ana, his part-elfin wife, and the winged Pook. They all set out to find their missing mates and put a stop to the dusk in order to save their forest home.
Readers follow along on the searches, interpreting clues to help find the missing creatures–really find the creatures, because each one is located somewhere in the continental United States in a spot that’s easily accessible by anyone who deciphers the clues correctly.
