The Scout Brothers: The Secret of Silvercrest

A hidden mine. A mountain that glows. And a secret that was never meant to be found.

When Mac, Danny, and Benji discover a strange engraved stone during a Scout trip on Silvercrest Mountain, they think they've stumbled onto the beginning of a great adventure.

They have no idea how right they are.

Soon, animals begin disappearing from the mountain. Strange tracks appear near Whispering Creek. Silver light pulses from deep inside Silvercrest. And an abandoned mine—closed for decades—shows signs that someone has been secretly using it again.

Armed with Scout skills, curiosity, questionable plans, and Danny's endless supply of bad jokes, the three friends form their own brotherhood: The Knights of Silvercrest.

Their motto is simple: Courage. Kindness. Honor.

But those words become much harder to follow when the boys discover a hidden underground world filled with glowing crystals, forgotten tunnels, dangerous secrets—and a man determined to reach the legendary Silver Heart before anyone can stop him.

Then the mountain begins to collapse.

Trapped beneath Silvercrest during a violent storm, Mac, Danny, and Benji must rely on one another to survive. Because somewhere in the darkness, something seems to be following them. Something with silver eyes.

Is the legendary Guardian of Silvercrest only an old story? Or have the boys awakened something that has been protecting the mountain for generations?
