The Treasure Hunters

by Mariko Pratt

Overview

Six roommates, each one a different creature, live in a large sprawling house on a hill. While learning how to make apple pie, one of them finds a scrap of parchment in an old cookbook. Although it doesn't look like much, the ragged sheet holds the clues to a mysterious treasure. After much arguing and hurried preparation, they set off traveling in two groups. While one group trudges through thick brush and forest searching for clues, the others travel down the river in a leaky rowboat. Along the way, both groups get into various difficulties. Although their eventual prize doesn't turn out to be what had envisioned, they are still rewarded for their hard work and cooperation.

About the Author

Mariko Pratt was born in Mountainville, California and grew up in McKinleyville, California where she now divides her time between writing and illustrating and garden work. She had taken up a career writing in order to combat bouts of artistic block. Her artwork had been featured in several local shows along with artwork by her mother Tsuya Pratt.

Her first completed short story, Paulie’s Puppy was narrated online in 2012 and there are plans to feature this work in a series collection set in an alternate

Humboldt County where the bizarre and

surreal is commonplace.
