The Treasure Chest is in trouble! Ariana's mum is about to sell the thrift shop because there aren't enough customers to keep it open. Ariana is devastated.

Thankfully, all her friends want to pitch in and show the community that the store deserves to stay. With newfound determination, the group organises a unique community fundraiser, featuring a food truck, petting zoo, Kandyan dancing, and more! But when disaster strikes, will the money they raised even be enough to keep the store open?

In the Ariana Treasure early reader series, there are always problems to solve and fun to be had. Ariana often saves the day with her quick thinking and thoughtful spirit.

The stories explore friendship, families, diversity, courage, and sustainability. With simple sentence structures, accessible vocabulary, familiar characters, and relatable storylines, the stories in the Ariana Treasure series would suit eager beginner readers. Whether it be making new friends, saving a kitchen disaster, or finding an act for the talent show, Ariana is ever ready to step up and help those in her community.
