The part of the book where they ruin a county fair is like the climax of a Jessie episode. So Jessie fans, pick this one up! Before I read this book, I had no idea that the word husky meant fat. Like The Underneath by Kathi Appelt, this is actually two stories in one. But, unlike in The Underneath by Kathi Appelt, the first story dominates over the second story. The first story is about a boy who is trying to find treasure with his Bassett Hound. The second story is about a spolied royal boy who loved to embrioder pillows but was expected to be a duke/knight like his father when he grew up, kind of like Homer is expected to be a goat farmer when he grew up but wanted to find treasure with his dog. But unlike Homer, this boy had a tomboy for a sister. The second story is not above, but it is in the book!

When Homer Pudding receives a mysterious note emblazoned with the letters L.O.S.T., he knows the moment he has been waiting for has arrived. It is time to meet the society of Legends, Objects, Secrets, and Treasures, take his Uncle's place, and become a true adventurer.
With his best friend, Dog, at his side, everything seems to be going as planned...until an unexpected opponent challenges Homer's spot, and they are tasked with a dangerous quest. Only the one who can solve the clues and reach the treasure first will be given membership.
Homer is counting on Dog's hidden ability to smell treasure to help him along the way -- but someone is trying to hinder his quest and keep him out of L.O.S.T. And who is plotting to steal Dog? From the sleepy goat fields of Milkydale to fantastical mansions and hidden islands, Dog and Homer are off on another page-turning adventure!
