The New York Times bestselling author of the Seven Wonders series and of books in the 39 Clues series, Peter Lerangis, brings us the hair-raising, edge-of-your-seat second installment of the Max Tilt trilogy.

When thirteen-year-old Max Tilt stumbled across his great-great-great-grandfather Jules Verne´s unfinished, unpublished manuscript, The Lost Treasures, he thought he had the answer to all his problems, but nothing in life is ever that easy. With his mom´s illness getting worse again, Max needs to figure out a way to save his family-now more than ever.

So Max and his cousin Alex revisit The Lost Treasures, and they find a clue that just might be the key to a cure. It´s the story of Verne´s seemingly impossible recovery from a near-fatal gunshot wound. Somehow, after being shot, Verne didn´t just survive, he thrived. And the book hints that he was only able to do so after collecting magical healing elements that he´d saved from a race around the world.

Piecing together hints from Verne´s Around the World in 80 Days and his lost manuscript, Max and Alex realize there´s a way to save Max´s mom if they´re daring enough to try.

It´s a race against time in the second installment of the action-packed adventure series from master storyteller and New York Times bestselling author Peter Lerangis.
