The Treasure of Tel Maresha is a Middle East Book Council Honorable Mention!

The Treasure of Tel Maresha is a charming novel for young readers that weaves together two stories—Becca in present-day Israel and Rebeka in ancient Maresha—highlighting friendship, family, and the timelessness of childhood hopes and fears. Rich with history and archaeology, and inspired by a real child’s discovery at Tel Maresha, the book conveys that memories live in the heart, not in objects. Thoughtful prose and evocative illustrations make history relatable, engaging, and emotionally resonant.
