Snow Treasure

This is the exciting story of the heroic children of Norway who secretly smuggled their country's wealth in gold on sleds past Nazi occupiers so that it could be shipped to America and kept out of the hands of the Nazis. The story is exciting and involves great dangers, but is carefully crafted within a setting that is not too intense for children. Written in the early years of World War II, it includes interesting details that our modern history books seem to forget. In particular, some noteworthy details include the secretive ways in which the Nazis prepared to conquer a country and some specifics of the persecution of the Catholic Church in Poland. The author writes with a great sense of honesty and purpose in illustrating the tactics of evil and the virtues necessary to overcome them without any kind of preachiness or insincerity.
