This review is from: The Mystery of the Gold Double Eagle (Paperback)

I couldn't put the book down, it was filled with excitement and adventure. I think boys AND girls aged 9-12 would enjoy this book. Here is a little bit about it... Playing a game of house tag leaves Tait, Katie and Marcus with a riddle. Mr. Schiff, a greedy pawnbroker, tries to find the treasure along and against the kids. The children find the gold but Mr. Schiff found it too. Tait and Katie with their lives at stake get rescued by Marcus. They all rush out of the underground place. But what happens to Mr. Schiff, Uncle Bernie's evil brother?
