There's always something interesting and exciting happening when you're thirteen and summer vacation has just begun. In the summer of 1966 a young boy is having the summer of his life, riding his bike, playing baseball and having fun by tempting the wrath of the nasty old man that lives nearby. But things get much more exciting when he discovers an amazing treasure - which he carefully keeps to himself, until he runs afoul of the local school bully. However, the secret escapes and ultimately leads to unexpected consequences. Mr. Jablowski's Treasure is a coming of age story in the tradition of such childhood classics as STAND BY ME, THE SANDLOT AND THE PIG MAN.
Reviews
an Old-Fashioned story.
"I thought this story had depth and I wish all young teenagers would read this story. How people seem to be or should I say, how we think they are, not always the way it seems. Without knowing people, without having a conversation and trying to get to learn something about them, and just assuming the worst, is what a lot of people do these days. They are in such a rush to label a person without getting to know them. I think this really gets the meaning across. A really nice story." Louise
"A heartfelt story, sharing in the adventure of a thirteen-year-old boy in a moment that shaped and defined facets of his morality. A reflective story of tough choices and harder decisions made when one come's of age and discovers that some treasures are worth keeping."
