A Storybook
Adventure Begins
"There has to be something interesting out there," Jack said,
shading his eyes from the morning sun.
Cactus Gulch is a quiet desert town where nothing exciting ever happens — at least, that's what everyone says. Cactus Jack disagrees. When a dusty traveller rides into town with a map marked by a giant red X, Jack sees his chance for a real adventure.
With Boomerella — his loyal, snoring, sandwich-stealing dust hog — Jack races across the desert, survives a massive sandstorm, navigates a hidden ravine, and faces a stone guardian that shouldn't be alive. The Lost Mine of Embergold holds secrets Jack never expected.
And somewhere in those ruins waits the greatest treasure Jack has ever seen.
