Book Highlight in YA Contemporary by Tracy Daley.

Two sisters sent to Indonesia follow the promise of treasure behind a local legend that could buy their way home or bury their hope of family beneath the ruins of the past.

Paige Stevenson is a survivor, caring for her sister since she was seven years old, blaming herself for her mother’s addictions.

But all of her survival skills will be tested when she’s sent to live in Indonesia with a father she’s never met in a country completely different than her own.

Paige swears to get her and her sister home, but the cost of getting a flight is over one million rupiah. The promise of help from a treasure hunting Australian, lucky lizards, and Indonesian legends aren’t enough to make Paige believe she can depend on anyone but herself. But when her sister goes after a legend of a treasure on her own, Paige will learn the truth about loss, loneliness, and the path to forgiveness.
