The Summeres, Phillip, Zabrina and Zach go to visit their friends Lisa and Max for a night. But, Max appears to know a place they can explore, and by explore, he doesn’t know to how extreme they can reach, while simply exploring. The five friends now have to lead a quest, and collect clues to a very important objective, which could help the Summeres in a hundred different ways.

This adventure 'The Secret of the Goldbug Castle' is the first one in the series titled 'The Summeres Diaries'. (The term Summeres has twin implication here, one, it is the surname of the lead character and two, the novel was written during the author's summer break ... she proposes to continue the trend with new adventure each time). There are scenes, plots, vivid imagery, well weaved dialogues, expressions, and most importantly a pace to it, where the reader cannot put down the book. While following the adventures of the brave twelve-year-old kids in succeeding in their mission, readers get to know a whole new language in this book, a language of the OTHER WORLD, and this makes the novel all the more interesting and unique ... and what more could one ask for? There's a Fantomese-English dictionary at the end.

Once done with the amazing adventure, one could tell that it was a youngster’s vivid imagination that led to the story, although this little one was only 10, yes, that's the age of the author. The fact that the language, the arrangement, the surprise elements, sarcasm and the perfectly timed humour – all came from the tiny author would continue to intrigue readers for a long time.
