"Tea is for Treasure" by Kristin Eckhardt

 About this book:
 
  “As the first harbingers of spring reach the tearoom, so does an unexpected package. When the cousins open it, they discover a beautiful white china teapot with a lovely floral design. But it is what’s inside that really captures Elaine’s and Jan’s imagination: a hand-drawn map and cryptic poem giving clues to a hidden treasure.
The intrigue only deepens when Archie Bentham’s friend Nigel Fox stumbles into the tearoom with a gash on his forehead and a warning for them. Could his arrival be connected to the map and poem? Soon other would be treasure hunters arrive, and the sleuthing cousins are determined to not only find the treasure but also get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding it.
Meanwhile, as Elaine and Jan piece together the last of the clues they’ve collected about the antique sapphire ring, they discover that its story is even more intriguing than they suspected.”
