Bookroo's summary

Trav, a curious thirteen-year-old, visits his grandmother in Minnesota to learn about his father, who vanished after a bank heist. With friends Kenny and Iz, Trav searches for the missing loot. But their adventure turns perilous when they realize someone else is after the treasure, and they won't stop until they find it. Can Trav uncover the truth about his father before it's too late?

From the publisher

Thirteen-year-old Trav has always wondered about his dead-before-he-was-born dad. But when he heads from California to his grandmother’s house in rural Minnesota, hoping to learn about his past, he gets more than he bargained for. It turns out his dad was involved in a bank robbery right before he mysteriously disappeared, and the loot from the take is still missing. Along with Kenny and Iz, the kids next door, Trav embarks on a search for the cash. But the trio’s adventure quickly turns dangerous when it becomes clear that someone else is looking for the money–someone who won’t give up without a fight!
