About this Event

In a Venezuelan jungle, eleven-year-old Avery McShane and his friends, The Machacas, spend their days exploring from their secret treehouse hideaway from prying eyes. But when a murdered cowboy is found and whispers spread about his missing silver spurs, the boys are pulled into a real-life mystery.

A daring trip into the forbidden banana plantation of the cruel Pablo Malo turns into a narrow escape from vicious guard dogs—and raises even bigger questions. What is Pablo hiding? And could it be tied to the cowboy’s death?

To uncover the truth, the Machacas must summon their courage and face dangers deeper than the jungle itself… before time runs out.


Born in California, G. Leigh Lyons spent the first decade of his formative years growing up in Venezuela, Ecuador and Iran. He spent the next thirty years as a geologist and business executive, becoming an alumnus of Harvard Business School in the meantime. Leigh’s career took him and his family to live in many foreign countries, including Bolivia, Argentina and Mexico. He drew from these experiences and adventures for his Avery McShane stories.
