Books like Leepike Ridge by Nathan D. Wilson
When a crumbling Styrofoam raft takes him downstream, eleven‑year‑old Tom Hammond finds himself washed up on a dark, underground beach. Accompanied only by an impulsive dog named Argus and a flashlight taken from a corpse, Tom sets out to explore the mysterious caves beneath Leepike Ridge.
Inside the caverns he encounters a castaway, four graves, a tomb, and buried treasure. These discoveries stir questions Tom had never considered and dramatically reshape his thinking about family, adventure, and danger. Now he must find his way home while carrying the weight of the answers he has uncovered.
Wilson’s tale blends elements of classic adventure—think Robinson Crusoe and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer—with the suspense of a mystery involving missing persons and buried treasure.
