(3) 4-6 Mystery-solving heroine Sammy Keyes finds the hidden gold of Moustache Mary, the ancestor of a neighbor whose land is in danger of being sold to a feuding clan. The writing starts unevenly but soon picks up with engaging plot twists and characterizations. The novel nicely intertwines historical mystery with everyday issues faced by kids.
