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.
‘A glorious, glittering story that shines with magic, friendship and wonder. Unmissable.’ – Pari Thomson, author of Greenwild: The World Behind the Door
‘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.’ – Francesca Segal, author of The Innocents.
‘Captivating, magical, Jessie Burton’s Hidden Treasure sweeps you up and holds you entranced until the end.’ – Kate Williams, British Historian and Author
‘Stunning, so finely crafted it’s as if the author found it shaped and complete like a treasure itself’ – Hilary McKay
‘A gripping, high-stakes mystery with so much heart, I loved it’ – Elodie Harper, author of The Wolf Den
‘A beautiful and moving story’ – Louise O’Neil

Critics Review
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.
