Description
Although aimed at young teens, readers of all ages are urged to check out this entertaining adventure with its informative bits of historical fiction. "So if you've got a real bastard to work on," Aaron put in, seeing what their mentor was getting at, "this file is the one to use." "Bingo," affirmed Charlie with a wink. The adventure begins when brothers Aaron and Kyle Gardner find a steel file while hiking in the Carolina Blue Hills. Who had brought it to this wilderness and why? The mystery takes a back seat when the two stumble upon a girl who is staying at a nearby camp with her parents. For Aaron, it was love at first sight. +++ Interspersed with interesting characters and humorous moments, the tale takes the reader back in time to the Georgia gold rush and the Cherokee Trail of Tears; early 1800's events with present day ramifications for the brothers and their new friend. What begins as a hunt for long hidden gold turns into a race to save a man's life. Will the brothers find him in time?
