Hey, my Junior Scooper Scoop!

My Junior Mayoral Sash!

Aw, my Willowfest Ribbons!

Whoa, Grandpa's notebook!

Wow, I almost forgot about that. Hmm, what is it?

It's my treasure map.

What?

Legend has it a treasure was buried right here in Willows by the town founders.

They wanted to make sure Willows would always prosper, and the treasure would be there in a time of need.

It is said that they hid clues to its location throughout the town for future generations to find. No way!

Yes way!

Every summer, Grandpa and I would look for clues together.

Does everyone in Willows know about the treasure?

Over the years, people have forgotten about it.

Most now just believe it's an old folk tale.

But Grandpa believed. So you never found it?

No.

After a while, we just gave up.

I wonder what the treasure is.

Diamonds?

Jewels?

Gold doubloons?

Smelly socks?

Tennis balls?

Bacon! Grandma, the town's in trouble, isn't it?

Everything seems run down.

Willow Fest is almost canceled.

Christy's family is moving away.

The town's been through good times and bad.

But I think everyone could use a little good news about now. Like finding treasure?

I wish Grandpa and I had found it.

Then the town wouldn't be in trouble now.

He always loved a good adventure.

You know, your grandfather said the best part of an adventure was sharing it with the people you love. I've been so busy with my list.

I haven't spent much time at all with my sisters.

There's still time.

Grandma, do you really believe there's a treasure?

It may be the only way to save Willows.

Your grandfather believed.

That's good enough for me. So how do we open it?

Press a button?

Solve a riddle?

A keyhole!

It's Grandpa Floaty!

Stacey, can I borrow your necklace?

There must be a connection. No.

It's a key!

Whoa!

Awesome!

Hm.

Believe me now, Skipper?

Oh.

Woo-hoo!

I wish Grandpa could have seen this.

Hm.

I'm sure he would have loved to see it. I kind of wish it was chocolate.
