A compass that points the wrong way. A photograph from 1938. A warning meant for whoever finds them.

When Miles Knox discovers an old metal box hidden beneath the floor of Treehouse HQ, he expects treasure. Instead he finds a cracked brass compass that points seventeen degrees wrong, a photograph of three children standing beneath the same tree in 1938, a tiny unexplained key, and a warning:

IF YOU FOUND THIS, THEY FOUND YOU FIRST.

With his best friend Quinn Hayes, plus Jayden Reed and Sofia Martinez, Miles follows the evidence through old maps, forgotten survey records, buried markers, and pieces of Milestone's history that were never meant to disappear.

But someone else is watching.

A photograph vanishes. Anonymous messages arrive. A stranger knows more about the compass than he should. And the deeper the group digs, the clearer it becomes that the mystery did not begin with the compass.

It began with the Treehouse.

The Compass That Shouldn't Exist is Book One of The Milestone Adventures, an adventure and mystery series for readers ages 11 to 14.
