To keep them out of trouble, someone starts a treasure hunt. At first the clues seem like harmless fun. But before long, Hazel and Ned stumble across a dusty old book of handwritten magical spells and a cache of jewels in a hidden compartment. Then, dark images from the Frumps’ long-buried past start haunting Hazel’s dreams. What other secrets is the castle guarding? A long-lost diary hints at something sinister, just as the clues of the treasure hunt take a dangerous turn. Have the rules of the hunt changed, or is someone new writing the clues? Hazel and Ned face two mysteries and must solve them both before the peril grows too great.

    Feisty 12-year-old heroine Hazel Frump returns in another marvellous mystery that recalls the classic children’s adventures of Enid Blyton. The Legend of the Lost Jewels will have readers racing alongside Hazel and Ned to unravel a secret that stretches over 100 years into the past.
