Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Twelve-year-old Milo Brewster never thought pouring lattes and sweeping crumbs would turn into a full-time adventure. His family's little coffee shop, The Steamy Bean, nestled in the heart of Willowbrook, had always been a cozy corner of laughter, cinnamon smells, and warm smiles. It wasn't the kind of place you'd expect crime or secrets. It was the kind of place you expected a good muffin.Milo grew up among clinking mugs, the hiss of milk steamers, and the soft hum of jazz music that his mom always insisted on playing. The shop was more than just a building-it was their family's history, their dream, and their second home.But lately, strange things had started happening. First, the cash register jammed, spitting out receipts covered in weird codes. Then someone broke in-but didn't steal a thing. Milo found coffee beans scattered across the floor in the shape of a spiral. His parents thought it was just a prank. Milo wasn't so sure.When he overheard whispers about "the treasure hidden beneath the shop" and saw shady figures lurking around after hours, he knew The Steamy Bean was in danger. And not just from burglars.Armed with nothing but his trusty apron, a pocketful of espresso beans, and a head full of wild ideas, Milo decided it was up to him to protect their shop-and maybe, just maybe, figure out why it was so important in the first place.Little did he know, The Steamy Bean was hiding more than extra coffee filters in its backroom. There were maps, old letters, and a history stretching back farther than Milo could imagine-one that involved secret societies, legendary recipes, and even a hidden vault.As Milo plunged deeper into the mysteries of his family's shop, he would discover courage, friendship, and the true meaning of family legacy.One thing was clear-the future of The Steamy Bean was brewing on Milo's shoulders. And if he didn't figure it out fast, it could all come crashing down.
