The Last Great Adventure of the PB & J Society (Middle-grade Novels)

When her best friend's house is threatened with foreclosure, young Annie Jenkins is full of ideas to save the home: selling her appendix on eBay, winning the lottery, facing down the bankers . . . anything to keep Jason from moving. But Jason's out-of-work dad blows up at the smallest things, and he's not very happy with Annie's interventions, which always seem to get them into more trouble. But when Annie tracks a lost treasure to Jason's backyard, she's sure the booty will be enough to save Jason's family. Pirate treasure in the Midwest seems far-fetched, even to Annie, but it could be the answer to all their problems. Now all she has to do is convince Jason. As the two hunt for answers and the pressure gets to Jason and his family, Annie discovers that the best-laid plans aren't always enough and there are worse things than moving away. Some things are better together. Like peanut butter and jelly. Or Annie and Jason. So when her best friend's house is threatened with foreclosure, Annie Jenkins is bursting with ideas to save Jason's home. She could sell her appendix on eBay. (Why not?) Win the lottery. (It's worth a shot!). Face the evil bankers herself. (She's one tough cookie, after all.) Or hunt down an elusive (and questionably real) pirate treasure. Whatever the plan, it has to work, or this is undoubtedly THE LAST GREAT ADVENTURE OF THE PB&J SOCIETY. When Her Best Friend Jason's House Is Put Up For Sale, And He Tells Her That His Family Is Moving To California, Annie Jenkins Is Devastated By The News That She Is Losing The Other Member Of The Pb & J Society--so When Neighbor Mrs. Schuster Tells Her About A Buried Chest And Gives Her A Map She Convinces Herself That This Is A Way For Jason's Family To Pay Off Their Mortgage And Stay In Utah.
