This work is an outstanding example of a marriage of adventure and history in a work of fiction. Tallent combines all the necessary elements to keep all readers interested. The book, while juvenile in nature, has a sufficently entertaining plot and keen characterization. I live in the area in which the story is set (Allendale County, SC), and the description of the landscape is also fairly accurate. As a history buff who is always up for a good mystery, I enjoyed this book immensely. Alex Cone
