What is The Treasure Seekers about?

In November 1918, Stanley believes a hidden stained-glass window can protect his village and save his seriously ill mother. Martha, whose grandfather hid the window during the war, refuses to reveal its secrets. But as illness spreads and both children face grief and family troubles, Martha begins her own treasure hunt. Together, she and Stanley must overcome their differences, follow the clues and find the missing panels before the village’s hopes—and the people they love—are lost forever.
