What to expect
***This audiobook features a bonus conversation with author Jessie Burton***
From the bestselling author of The Miniaturist. Jessie Burton's Hidden Treasure is the phenomenal page-turning story of two children whose lives collide when they find an ancient treasure with the power to return to them the most precious thing they have ever lost
‘A jewel of a book. An exciting and absorbing adventure story full of magic and wonder. A rare feat.’ – Katya Balen, author of October, October
‘For anybody who believes in love and magic and trying to do the right thing.’ – Abigail Dean, Bestselling author of Girl A and Day One
‘Burton effortlessly combines a high-stakes mystery and characters with true emotional depth. A story that stayed with me long after turning the final page’ – A.F Steadman
For the people who live on the banks of the Thames, the river is a living, breathing thing. It can take your treasures. It can hide your treasures. And, sometimes, it can give them back.
Bo and Billy are two children who have never met. Billy is an orphan. Bo’s dad died when she was small and now her brother is off to war. Both children are poor, but they have each found half of a priceless treasure, given up by the river. A treasure which – when the pieces are reunited – holds the power to give back to one of them the most precious thing they have ever lost.
But should the treasure be put back together again? And why has the river given it up now?
For fans of Katherine Rundell and Philip Pullman's The Ruby in the Smoke, Hidden Treasure is a classic in the making, with a rip-roaring plot, spine-tingling twists and an unforgettable cast of characters.

Critics Review
Totally transporting and beguiling, Hidden Treasure sweeps you up in its tide and releases you feeling like you’ve discovered treasure
A jewel of a book. HIDDEN TREASURE is beautifully written, exploring loss and love with a tender touch. Not only that, it is an exciting and absorbing adventure story full of magic and wonder. A rare feat.
The world of this novel is so real – but so magical. It’s set during WWI, on the banks of the Thames, as two children try to solve an ancient river mystery. Like all the best children’s books, it isn’t just for children but for anybody who believes in love and magic and trying to do the right thing. I can’t wait to read it to my small boys when they grow up
A glorious, glittering story that shines with magic, friendship and wonder. Unmissable.

A captivating mystery, full of charm and twists and a fascinating old London. Burton effortlessly combines a high-stakes mystery and characters with true emotional depth. A story that stayed with me long after turning the final page
It’s stunning, so finely crafted it’s as if the author found it shaped and complete like a treasure itself.
I loved it entirely. The river setting and old London, and the history and the characters. All the interwoven layers of story telling. Bo and Billy River and Eddie will be with me for a long time.
What a gift of a book. Jessie Burton hits the absolute sweet spot of peril and joy, of adventure and delicious detail, with characters that felt absolutely real to me. It’s a future classic.
