Synopsis (Summary)


After finding an ancient journal and a vintage coin on the afternoon of the last day of school, two best friends, Peter Johnson and Matthew, set out to find the truth behind these mysterious artifacts and the authors of the journal, Marcus & Kirk Sebastian. The duo later receive an unidentified note on the doors of the First State Bank that lead them to the Addison Gandy house. There, the pair encounter an old man who speaks of a legend. In addition, the elder recommends the duo to visit four residences to find what they seek.
Subsequently, they located and learned the history of these building; only to find that none is of what they need. The pair of friends journey to the next four locations in search for the truth of the journal. First, Memory Park; second, Nathaniel Hart Davis Museum and Law Office; then, the Olde School House; concluding, the Old Church Duet.
Finally, Peter and Matthew surrender to the journal, unable to see the true force behind this journey. On the first day of the next school year, the duo are herded by their former, menacing, history teacher into his classroom. Their prior teacher informed them that it was he that planned their escapade. He had written the journal, the notes, and made the coin in order to guide his best students on a road to success and prosperity.
Peter later realizes how maleficent their history teacher's outer exterior is; however, deep down, he actually cares, and is even generous.
"Do not judge a book by its cover, Peter reflects."
