Some legends are sweeter than gold.
When eleven-year-old Theo Marsh finds a crumbling, chocolate-stained old book hidden in her grandmother's attic trunk, she doesn't expect it to hold a secret map, a hundred-year-old mystery, and a doorway into the last wild cacao jungle on Earth. The book calls the cacao tree Theobroma - food of the gods - and Theo is about to find out why.
Guided by whispers of Aztec legend, a vanished explorer's diary, and a strange golden seed that glows in moonlight, Theo and her two best friends follow a trail of clues from a dusty attic to a hidden rainforest valley where an ancient order of jungle guardians has protected a sacred grove of cacao trees for centuries. But a ruthless collector is hunting the very same secret - and he'll destroy the whole valley to get it.
Packed with adventure, friendship, courage, treasure hunting, jungle survival, ancient magic, and real chocolate history, Theo and the Secret of Theobroma is a thrilling quest for readers who love mystery, mythology, and a good reason to never look at a chocolate bar the same way again.
