Sophie and Sam are six-year-old twins and the very best of friends. They love having adventures together, so when bad weather keeps them indoors, it’s time for a treasure hunt.

They draw a map and start searching the house, but the treasures they find turn out to be real pieces of history, each a part of their family’s rich heritage. Whose is that enormous, flappy shoe? What is that weird, buzzy belt for? And what’s the story behind Grandma Lola’s pitcher? Lily, their mum, and Lola delight in telling the twins about their discoveries, making each a memory to treasure.
