Treasure Hunters books, in order

Treasure Hunters is James Patterson's middle-grade series about the Kidd siblings, nine books from 2013 through 2023. It is not his Middle School series, and it is not a video game.

Co-authors across the series are Chris Grabenstein and Mark Shulman. Juliana Neufeld illustrated. Little, Brown published the line. Book 1, Treasure Hunters, is 480 pages and dated 16 September 2013. The four Kidd children are the cast, and the ship in that volume is The Lost.

The rest of the order I am willing to print: Danger Down the Nile (2014), Secret of the Forbidden City (2015), Peril at the Top of the World (2016), Quest for the City of Gold (2018), All-American Adventure (2019), The Plunder Down Under (2020), The Ultimate Quest (2022), and The Greatest Treasure Hunt (2023).

A search asking how to get a picture of the Lost is a plot question that needs a chapter citation I do not have in front of me. I am leaving that answer blank rather than summarizing a scene from memory.

Patterson's Middle School books follow Rafe Khatchadorian. They share a publisher habit and not this cast. Mixing the reading orders is how people end up buying the wrong paperback.

A manhwa also circulates under a similar English title. Its production credits were not firm enough for a page, so it remains a row on the directory and not a chapter here.
