Book Description:

"Hand over your weapons!" one policeman commanded Jigson. "Turn around with your hands up high!" "This is a terrible mistake!" Abby cried, jumping to her feet and rushing to the first policeman's side. "You need to catch those men! This man is not a real criminal, but those thugs who are escaping . . . are!"

The Bakers are full of excitement as they head to the English countryside to celebrate Grandfather Wilson's eightieth birthday.

But when an elderly neighbor with Alzheimer's disease tells a tale of treasure lost on the high seas, the Bakers are sure she has confused reality with fiction. But as they find information that supports Old Marge's story, they begin wondering whether there is truth in it after all.

Can the discovery of an ancient treasure help Old Marge stay in her beloved cottage and out of a nursing home? This question sends the Bakers on a swashbuckling adventure of mystery and peril, following an old diary through mysterious caves and a maze of clues in search of the missing treasure. Along the way, their quest is marked by amazing providences that point to this key conclusion: God's ways are always right and true.

The Baker Family Adventures series follows the exciting lives of Mr. and Mrs. Baker and their four children: responsible Phil, sensible Abby, daring Andy, and inquisitive Tom. The Bakers are a Christian homeschooling family who, in their desire to help others, frequently find themselves in dangerous situations where they must grow in courage and learn important lessons of godliness.

From Author R.C. Hedgecock:

Most of my childhood reads were about individuals or groups of children going off on thrilling adventures by themselves. There were no parents around, and hardly any adults (except the villains, of course). Sound familiar?
A few years ago, I began wondering why this was so. Why do adventures have to take place when children are alone? Why are things suddenly more boring when parents are around? Yes, it's true in real life that sensible adults tend to make sure children stay out of dangerous situations, but is the story view that "adventure only happens when we're not around authorities" the right attitude to have? And is there a way to write something different?
This is the point I spent a long time pondering. What if whole families could go on thrilling exploits together? What if parents weren't an impediment to adventure, but rather the reason children get into it in the first place? Wouldn't this be a far more exciting (and Biblical) premise than the one currently offered by stacks of literature out there?
I began to think so, and the Baker Family Adventures Series was born.
