The Doldrums And The Helmsley Curse
Paperback Edition: 1
Archer Helmsley's grand-parents--the famed explorers who went missing on an iceberg two years ago--are finally coming home. Archer is overjoyed. He has been waiting his whole life to meet his grandparents. Not everyone is rejoicing about the Helmsleys' return, though. Rumours are flying all around the unusual town of Rosewood. Maybe his grandparents weren't ever on that iceberg. Maybe they made it all up. And maybe the especially harsh winter is all their fault. Everyone is blaming the Helmsley Curse. But Archer knows the rumors are false. There is no curse. His grand-parents are being framed.
With his best friends, Oliver and Adelaide, and their new neighbour, Kana, Archer sets out on his biggest adventure yet: rescuing his grandparents' reputation. It will mean unearthing the secrets that a powerful man wants to keep hidden, infiltrating the society of explorers in the heart of Rosewood, and braving the blizzard of the century. But don't worry. Archer has a plan. Sort of.
