Nice! It was a little annoying that she wouldn't tell them _why_ she didn't want them searching - though it would have been a very different and much less interesting book if she had. And the last bit with David so anxious to tell her...what, exactly? Did he think Squeak sneaked it back in? If he knew what happened, why was it so important to tell her right then? Sheesh. But aside from those two small bits, it's a great story; two boys on the river in a canoe, with a mystery to solve; a richly-described environment, complex characters, and some really surprising bits. Glad I read it and I expect I'll reread it frequently. ( )

Een geslaagde Prisma junior, doordat de auteur (*1920, foto lijkt op Annie Schmidt en mijn moeder) van geschiedenis afweet en kan schrijven: ze werkte bij OUP, daarvoor bij BBC schoolradio: Peter maakt kennis met Ron Codling via diens weggedreven kano. De Codlings, Ron, zijn tante en demente of minstens aan wanen lijdende grootvader die nog steeds wacht tot zijn gesneuvelde zoon terugkomt uit de oorlog, zijn van zeer oude familie, maar straatarm. Hun voorvader heeft t.t.v. de Armada een grote schat met juwelen verborgen in de buurt, iets met water. DE jongens gaan op zoek en maken lange kanotochten. Zonder het geld van de schat moet Ron naar familie in Birmingham en het huis verkocht. De geheimzinnige familie Smith uit Londen aast erop. Alles komt natuurlijk goed, maar Pearce heeft er een aantal verrassingen en peripeties in gestopt, ook weigert Tante Dina aan het eind expliciet te vertellen hoe ze precies de schat heeft teruggekregen (al weet de lezer dat wel) en er zitten ook merkwaardige niet-al-te-stereotiepe personages in, kortom voor een kinderboek is het afgezien van de plot tamelijk volwassen opgezet.

After a flood, a boy (David) finds a canoe at his family's landing, and then finds a new friend (Adam) in the discovered owner. The two of them spend a glorious summer in the canoe (The Minnow), looking for Adam's family's long-lost treasure in an attempt to save Adam and his poor aunt from selling their house and moving away to live with cousins for lack of money. It's a race again time (the end of the summer holidays) and also against a wicked relative (Mr. "Smith"), who is also trying to find the hidden riches.

This one was wonderful. David and Adam and their river adventures, the mystery and suspense of the search for the treasure, and the lovely characters who fill the small villages where they live make for a happy and cozy read. I enjoyed it no end. ( )

Good kids story, not as striking as the spooky shorts of my previous borrowing but well worth having borrowed this too. A nice little mystery and good friendship. though the boys got all the fun. ( )
