The 2nd Edition S.O.T. Storybooks were designed for venues such as libraries where writing in books; as in my regular storybooks (which include various activities that require writing or cutting), must not be encouraged. Therefore, only the story and the secret coded message have been included in the 2nd edition versions. You can copy the secret coded worksheet to decode the message if the 2nd edition storybook doesn't belong to you.This story is about a little boy whose mother is an active Marine in the United States armed forces. Winston is a very responsible little boy; however, he does worry a great deal about his mother's well-being.

Will they complete the Treasure Hunt? Stand with Winston and his father as they draw strength from each other, to deal with a life's situation that changes their entire world.
