Kids and teenagers would love this fast-paced adventure story.  Most adults would also find it a light and enjoyable read. Aside from the treasure hunt, I also found the character of Max to be a fascinating subject.  For an eleven year old boy, Max has serious self-esteem issues.  He is literally afraid of his own shadow and is prone to panic attacks. Max just wants acceptance from his friends and a little attention from his seemingly cold and often absent father.  Suddenly the mysterious Uncle Flynn descends on Max's life.  Uncle Flynn is the polar opposite of Max's father. It is fun to observe the changes in Max as he and Flynn take on the dangers and adventures of the treasure hunt out on the English moors.
