Eleven-year-old Katie Waters is convinced life doesn't truly begin until thirteen-when her older sister suddenly outgrows her, leaving Katie lonely and feeling invisible. But the summer after fifth grade brings an unexpected adventure when Katie joins three neighborhood boys on an amateur "archaeological" dig at the edge of their subdivision. What begins as a search for Native American artifacts soon leads them to Mr. Jack, a widowed WWII veteran living in an old white house built years before by his ancestors-and leads to an unexpected friendship for Katie.
With Mr. Jack, Katie and her friends uncover artifacts worth far more than they imagined, and Katie realizes the greatest discoveries aren't material. Through friendship, moral choices, and an encounter with a troubled neighborhood bully, Katie learns about integrity, compassion, and the power of choosing kindness-even when it's hard. Mr. Jack becomes both mentor and mirror, teaching the children that history lives not just in objects, but in people-and even at eleven years old, you can make a difference in the lives of others.
Told in Katie's voice and framed by her reflection years later, THE INDIAN SUMMER EXPEDITION is a nostalgic, hopeful story about found family, redemption, and seeing value in what the world overlooks.
