In Milestoneville Mountain by Golden November, G and JBT strategize to locate a missing rare book, reaffirming their 'Book Hunters' status. Family discussions at a restaurant revolve around Thorpe's mining job and June's nostalgic encounter with vinyl records, culminating in Thorpe's recounting of a romance gone sour with Andrea. The prospect of hidden gold piques interest, with Flower Rose proposing the involvement of G and JBT. Plans are made to retrieve the treasure map from Andrea, utilizing June's contacts and Thorpe's resources, including his helicopter. Meanwhile, at a television studio, casting decisions spark debate, while Andrea seeks help deciphering the treasure map. Bridget and Asterick immerse themselves in suspicions surrounding the purchase of Milestoneville Mountain, prompting legal confrontations and health scares that complicate efforts to resolve disputes and pursue development plans on a mountain that may not even be in Milestoneville.

Golden November returns with the characters we have grown to love in Milestoneville Mountain, fleshing them out further to the point where they now feel a little like family. Perhaps this is because, as a family, we act them out. I love how November crafts very distinctive voices for each character, making it easy to differentiate between them, sometimes even without name prompts. For instance, Click Clack's authoritative and businesslike tone contrasts with Thorpe's casual and jovial manner, and the format of the book makes for a hilarious evening when we pair the character with a reader with the opposite personality traits. November employs photo prompts but still uses the dialogue to paint a picture of the setting without relying exclusively on them, or traditional exposition, and we get to “see” Milestoneville Mountain and its rugged terrain. Another home run for November, and a great installment for all.
