Snow Treasure

I am almost through reading SNOW TREASURE to my children. I read this book when I was in the 4th grade and it made a lasting impression on me. My 11, 9, and 8 year olds are a completely captive audience and plead with me to read more when I close the book after each reading. It is believed to be a true story (a Norwegian sailing vessel docked in the U.S. during WWII. The captain told a vague story of how the gold he was carrying, came to be transported out of Norway.) The historical setting, facts, danger, and adventure makes for a wonderful read aloud. Chapters are brief, so you would be able to pick this up and read it to your children wherever you could carve out ten minutes in your day.

I highly suggest SNOW TREASURE by Marie McSwigan.
