The Hidden Treasure of Glaston by Eleanore M. Jewett

The Hidden Treasure of Glaston

By Eleanore M. Jewett
Level 7
Review:

First published in 1946, this fantastic Newbery Honor mystery/adventure book is set in the Middle Ages. The writing is exemplary, and the plot will hold the attention of even reluctant readers. The book is clean, offers great historical detail, and is filled with positive messages, such as forgiveness, hard work, not setting your heart on worldly things, responsibility, respect for the elderly, prayer, and faith in God. This book is highly recommended!
