Thrill of the chase bookstore full#

To Forrest Fenn's family, children, and grandchildren, the thrill of the chase marks the memories and life of a 'maverick' of a man who has given them much to look forward to in the future and set an example which will be extremely hard to follow. To treasure searchers, the thrill of the chase is conquering the poem, finding the gold, and 'winning' so to speak at the cost of drawing to a close the grand adventure that has enlightened so many. The poem is said to contain nine clues which lead to the location of Fenn's treasure - a Romanesque bronze chest which is filled to the brim with gold nuggets, coins, jewelry, and other artifacts. Among them is the legendary poem found at the end of the book on page 132. The chase described in the book's pages has come to represent may things to many people. That is what Fenn's stories, life, and example lead on to encourage everyone else to do. The book contains short stories, pictures, and snapshots of defining moments from Fenn's life, but the thrill of the chase is about pursuing the passions of life wherever they may take you. It is simply what the title implies - finding the thrill of the chase. Yes, that is the title of the book written by author and art collector Forrest Fenn, but the idea behind the book encompasses so much more. Every Teen Thursday until the festival we’ll be profiling a different panel!

I was constantly surprised!” To read Willa’s full review CLICK HERE.Ĭheck out these and all The Austin Teen Book Festival Authors here. You never knew what the authors were going to throw at you next, or how David would react to something, and that made the book so much better. I think my favorite part of this book was that it kept you guessing. Will and David grew both closer and farther apart, especially when they both begin to fall for the same girl… The issues these teens dealt with were life and death, and they all changed. “The plotline of The Loners is fast-paced and action packed! There was never a dull moment, and each event that happened made sense, and seemed to match the character’s character. Willa also read Quarantine by Lex Thomas and thought it was dark and mysterious – a real page turner! This story relates to real people and real emotions, which is something not seen much in literature these days! Very well written book.” To read Gretch’s full review CLICK HERE.

I like how the plot builds speed, but never is slow. Very well researched, the book fits together well and helps draw the reader deeply into Wally’s story. “The plot of this book is realistic and plausible without being familiar or over-done. Some of the characters really surprised me, especially when they got their chance to shine.” To read Wila’s full review CLICK HERE.

“The plotline of Dark Eyes was fantastic – it had layers of two mysteries the whole book, and caught in the middle was Wally, misleading everyone and conducting her own investigation. She was the kind of girl who had just been treated horribly as a young girl but had developed into a sweet and caring one who had a huge heart.” I wish they had been featured more, because I really loved all of her friends – Ella, Tevin, and Jake – especially Ella. “Her “crew” was one of my favorite parts of the book. This panel consists of William Harlan Richter, Ally Carter, Eliot Schrefer, Lex Thomas, and Jennifer Lynn Barnes who will act as moderator.īoth Gretchen and Willa were hooked by William Harlan Richter’s Dark Eyes, they loved it! “ The Thrill of the Chase” is the wait for it….
