Another novel for teenagers in the 'Lone Pine' series which I enjoyed so much in my teens, and have re-read several times as an adult. I like the later books better, with the older main characters now 17 or 18, and learning more about love and loyalty.

This story is an exciting adventure featuring some hijacked lorries, and also some tensions between Tom Ingles, his best friend Jenny, and his new, slightly older friend Ned. A search for hidden treasure makes an extra sideline, and the ten-year-old twins provide a few amusing moments.

Recommended, particularly in the 'Girls Gone By' edition, which I have recently managed to acquire, but the abridged Armada paperback is still a good story.
