INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Collard, Sneed B., III

Double Eagle

(4) 4-6 This standard-issue, old-fashioned adventure story takes place in 1973 on an island off the Alabama coast. While searching for missing Confederate gold coins one summer, two boys find an unexpected friendship. The story is filled with expected character types (kindly old man with secrets, sneering bad guys, cute but unattainable girl). Details about the Civil War add interest.
