"Only boring people get bored...interesting people can always find something to be interested in."

That's what Tom Trelawney's father says, anyway. Tom knew he shouldn't have been so interested in playing with matches -- it's just that he was . . . well . . . bored. Now, with the garden shed in ashes, the only person willing to look after him while his parents are away is his father's brother, mysterious Uncle Harvey.

As soon as Tom's parents leave, Harvey announces he's traveling abroad on "urgent business" and young nephews are not invited. When Tom discovers his uncle is going on a treasure hunt, however, he proves that Harvey isn't the only troublesome Trelawney and blackmails his uncle into letting him tag along. But as with all of Uncle Harvey's schemes, the details prove more complicated than he originally discloses. Tom realizes there are two types of Trelawneys: those who follow the rules and those who chuck them in the wastebasket. He must decide which kind of Trelawney he will be, and which kind will help him stay alive.
