Summary: An Amazing Book
Review: I read this book when I was 10 - I'm now 41. I've been looking for 31 years to find this book again and I'm ordering one dozen copies as soon as I'm done writing this review.

This story has stayed with me since the day I read it. The courage and commitment of the children to help their country. The risks they took to move the gold under the very noses of Nazi officers. Boys and girls alike did their part to protect Norway's gold and their own futures.

I can't wait to wrap up these Christmas presents for every child I know. This was one of the best books I've ever read and I can't wait to read it again.

31 years - I don't think that's too long a time for success.

Summary: Best Book in the WORLD!!!!!
Review: When I saw this book, I thought that it would be just a normal book with non_exciting parts and exciting parts. I read the first chapter and didn't put it down for the rest of the evening. I wouldn't have put it down if my dad almost yelled at me to PUT IT AWAY.
This book is about a boy and his friends who have their life in their hands. They have to hide a bunch of money and keep it secret from the Nazis. I would recomend tthis book to anyone who loves action and to learn a little bit about the Nazis.

Summary: READS AS FAST AS A DOWNHILL SLEDRIDE!
Review: Wow--this book is hard to put down; it skims along as swiftly as the kids riding their sleds downhill (smuggling gold bullion right past Nazi soldiers), to be loaded aboard a camouflaged ship and taken to America for safe keeping. What was a simple, childhood pasttime has now beome a matter of life and death.

Based on a probably true story, but Fact or legend, it could well have happened this way. This exciting little book is a tribute to the courage and dedication to Freedom of the people of Norway during the winter of 1940, when Nazis invaded even this tiny village. No one thought they could be defeated, yet Peter's Uncle Viktor suggested a plan which involved school children in a fabulously daring smuggling adventure! If you want to read more about Scandinavian resistance to the Nazi's, try Lois Lowry's Number the Stars, set in Denmark. Snow Treasure is a literary treasure of tension, histoircal fiction which might have been historical fact!
