A Summer to Treasure by Leslea Wahl

Teenage siblings Luke, Celia, and Austin are dreading their summer vacation. A month cooped up in an RV, touring around the Southwest, with their parents, grandmother, and each other? Pure torture. But when Grandma reveals the real reason for the trip, the journey becomes an unexpected adventure. As they travel through breathtaking canyons, the teens develop new friendships, deepen their faith, and join together to solve a decades-old mystery. And if the siblings can put down their phones long enough to enjoy the incredible journey, they might just discover that their relationships with each other are truly the greatest treasure.

Leslea Wahl is an award-winning Catholic author of adventurous teen mysteries. Leslea not only writes for teens but she also has become a reviewer of Catholic and Christian teen fiction and is a founding member of CatholicTeenBooks.com. Her journey to become an author came through a search for value-based fiction for her own children. She now strives to be an advocate for other families who are battling against society’s secular messages through her writing and by offering book suggestions that reflect Christian values.
