Huber Hill & the Golden Staff of Cibola

Huber Hill and his friends return home to find their parents kidnapped by the sinister Brotherhood of Coronado. Guided by a 16th-century priest's diary, they race enemies old and new into the vast underground of Carlsbad Caverns, where the legendary golden city of Cíbola and its cursed Golden Staff wait behind deadly traps and riddling sentinels. To save their families and the world, they must outwit betrayers and learn that the true test is what lies in a person's heart. A high-octane middle-grade adventure finale.

• The action-packed finale that sends Huber, Hannah, and Scott deep beneath Carlsbad Caverns to a real lost city of gold.
• Indiana Jones meets National Treasure for the middle-grade crowd—booby traps, riddles, and a race against a masked brotherhood.
• A cursed golden staff that can only be destroyed by someone whose heart is truly pure.
• Blends real history (Coronado, Fray Marcos de Niza, Carlsbad Caverns) with legend and high-stakes fantasy.

“How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!”

Perfect for a 9-13 year old who loves Indiana Jones, National Treasure, and puzzle-driven treasure hunts full of traps, banter, and daring escapes.
