In this heartfelt fifth installment, the Heartwood Hotel faces a new kind of excitement when a treasure map leads to a forest-wide frenzy.

As Mona navigates the pressures of treasure hunters, planning a surprise birthday party for Mr. Heartwood, and strained friendships, she discovers that the real treasure lies not in what’s buried beneath the hotel, but in the bonds of community, courage, and chosen family.
