520			_a"The Hidden Treasure: Or Found at Last" by Lucy Ellen Guernsey is a historical fiction novel set in the early 16th century. It follows the lives of Jack Lucas and his family, particularly his struggles with health and the pursuit of knowledge during a time of religious upheaval. The narrative begins to explore themes of faith, individuality, and the quest for understanding, as Jack begins to question the teachings of the church and seeks to learn more about the Bible, an act fraught with danger during this era. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Jack, a delicate boy who has recently earned a gold medal for his academic achievements but is now suffering from health issues. The backdrop of the town of Bridgewater is richly painted with descriptions of its mild spring day, bustling with life and commerce. Jack’s relationships with his father Master Lucas, his sister Anne, and other townsfolk, including the kind and pragmatic baker, hint at a close-knit community grappling with the prevailing religious doctrines. The importance of knowledge is emphasized through Jack’s curiosity about the Bible, which leads to a gradual awakening to the hidden treasures of faith and the dangers that lie in seeking truth during a time when the reading of Scripture could be viewed as heretical.
