***This audiobook features a bonus conversation with author Jessie Burton***
From New York Times bestselling author Jessie Burton comes a stunning debut middle grade novel and a story of friendship, priceless treasure, and powerful magic.
When Bo Delafort finds treasure on the muddy bank of the River Thames, her life turns upside down. A solid silver circle, encrusted with pearls and edged in rubies, the jewel is worth more security and comfort than her family has ever known. The magic of the river runs in this treasure, and Bo wonders why it chose her to find it.
But when its reappearance is discovered by someone who knows its hidden power, Bo is plunged into a centuries-old mystery with a dark secret at its heart.
For fans of Katherine Rundell and Philip Pullman's The Ruby in the Smoke, Hidden Treasure is a classic in the making: an adventure with a rip-roaring plot, spine-tingling twists, and an unforgettable cast of characters.©2024 Ken Bruen (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic reviews
A glorious, glittering story that shines with magic, friendship and wonder. Unmissable.
Burton effortlessly combines a high-stakes mystery and characters with true emotional depth. A story that stayed with me long after turning the final page.
Memorable characters and a distinct setting prove plenty engaging.
The clever caper takes readers on a wonderful whirlwind tour of 1910s London, skillfully balancing sentiment with suspense. . . . A magical mystery that reveals the rewards of digging a little deeper into life.
Burton's take on the traditional adversaries humanizes both characters, blurring boundaries between hero and monster.
A fiercely feminist undercurrent fuels Medusa's unflinching voice...in this necessary reimagining of the Greek myth for YA readers.
With unforgettable imagery and a powerhouse woman at the helm of the table, this revamped myth is one to get on your bookshelf.
Jessie Burton's Medusa is a dazzling, engrossing retelling of a classic that's delivered with a profound feminist twist.
A beautiful and profound retelling. Burton's text and Lomenech Gill's art are a perfect match, offering a powerfully feminist, elegiac, and original twist on this old story. The book tackles pain and trauma without flinching, but its message is ultimately one of joy and hope.
Medusa is absolutely stunning and easily my read of the year--sheer perfection from start to finish, both in words and art.
This book is a beautiful excavation, uncovering the girl beneath the gorgon, the power within the punished. Exquisitely told, Medusa stole my heart from its first fierce lines.
