Summary: VERY CLEVER!
Comment: This book captured my thoughts and brain with all the puzzles and mystery in it. I LOVE books that do that!!!!
It is about a boy who is searching for a treasure and has a lot of strange poems to figure out first. I can't remember to much of it, since I read it about one and a half years ago, but he comes across this other guy who is searching for it too. This 'other guy' is the son of Alpheus Winterborn and therefore thinks the treasure should be his. Well I won't give the whole book away, but if you are looking for a suspence, adventure, mystery book that is VERY CLEVERLY put together, read this one.
I recomend it 100%!

Summary: An Excellent Book!
Comment: I loved this book, it's fun to read and the characters are welldeveloped and very interesting! The Anthony Monday character featuredin this story is not quite as good as the Johny Dixon character in some of John Bellair's other books (like the Curse of the Blue Figurine) but he is still enjoyable. This book has great action (floods, struggles on rooftops), and is appropriate and entertaining for ALL ages! This book might look like a childeren's book (what with it's large type and all) but I'm 15 and i still love it!

Summary: A bit different than his other books, but great fun for all
Comment: I loved this book as a chid, so when I ran across it recently I decided to see how well it would hold up today. I'm happy to say that it was just as fun to read now as it was all those years ago.
As an adult it is not too difficult to figure out the mystery, but it's still a fun story. As a child it was quite exciting and I'm sure that children today will love it as well. Unlike most Bellairs novels, which are usually scary stories of wizards, monsters, and curses, this is a more straightforward mystery centered around the hunt for a hidden treasure, and as such it would be appropriate for children who might be scared by some of Bellairs' other books.
