Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6 Burstein cleverly has interwoven historical stories with suspense in this mystery that will sustain the interest of young readers. When Jamie and Sarah find a package of coins in the false bottom of an old trunk, they, with the help of a coin history book and a book of Jewish history, solve the mystery of their Uncle Otto's coins. Each of the coins coincides with a period of Jewish history, and each has a story of its own. The framing story is lively, with likable characters, and the historical stories are well constructed individually as well as providing a unified whole. Sources for all of the coins, which are aptly illustrated, are appended. A delightful and unusual book. Micki S. Nevett, Temple Beth Emeth Library, Albany, N.Y.
