Meet the Finders, the magical collectors of lost items...

The Borrowers meets The Magic Faraway Tree in this enchanting illustrated adventure, from the author of The Wishkeeper's Apprentice and The Magician Next Door.

"We Finders have what we call the Golden Rule: Finders Keepers."

While hunting for an old time capsule that his grandma once buried in the woods, Max never expects to discover the home of a small magical creature. Nor does he expect that magical creature to have an extensive collection of lost items, all catalogued and labelled. Yet this is how he meets Tuftorious Snook, collector of lost objects, and just one of the many Finders living in Silverthorn Forest.

Thrilled by his discovery, Max can't wait to find out more about the Finders. But when he accidentally breaks their most important rule - never steal - he's banished from their home. With Silverthorn Forest in danger, however, Max must somehow find a way to save Tuft and the other Finders before it's too late.
