Simon's Gold

Simon's Gold by Bobbie T. Teague is the delightful tale about the search for a cache of gold lost during the Revolutionary War in Alamance County, North Carolina. Two 12-year-old Quaker boys refuse to let a 200-year difference in age stop them from working together to solve the mystery. Jonathan Dixon from the 18th century befriends 21st century Kelly. The blending of events provides humorous comparison for strange old-and-current customs as they relate to values (and history) without distracting from this well told tale. Quaker author, Bobbie Teague has created an enchanting, lively, easy to read book that will appeal as a read-aloud selection for the entire family/class. The protagonists' scrapes and adventures will keep the reader(s) guessing to the very end. This book is reminiscent of the well-known Obadiah Starbuck books by BrintonTurkle but for an older audience. Quaker artist Charles D. J. Deppner, graduate of Savannah School of Art and Design, provides especially appealing images throughout the book. For readers of all ages.Teague, Bobbie T. is the author of 'Simon's Gold', published 2001 under ISBN 9781887774093 and ISBN 1887774092.
