In 1945, Isabela de Cordoba’s great-grandfather, silent movie actor Lorenzo de Cordoba, mysteriously hid a legendary, multimillion-dollar emerald somewhere on the family’s sprawling California estate. Seventy years later, the gem remains concealed. Nicknamed “The Green Curse,” the emerald is blamed for the family's numerous, untimely deaths.On her twenty-first birthday, Isabela receives a secret letter with a cryptic poem. These documents from the long-deceased Lorenzo invite her to hunt for the gemstone. But first, she must decipher the poem’s six stanzas for clues. Enter, the Botanic Hill Detectives—Lanny, Lexi, Moki, and Rani. Using the seventy-year-old cryptic poem for the hunt, they face eerie footsteps, secret passages, unexplained occurrences in the adjacent cemetery, and . . . competition. The perilous race for the de Cordoba treasure is on!
