The Three Gold Doubloons

Summary

This wonderful tale follows the adventures of a printer's apprentice named Tom Cartwright in Colonial Williamsburg. Not only is Tom caught up in an exciting historical time period but also in an engaging plot. With skillful storytelling, the author weaves in inspiring messages, such as how kind actions to those who don't deserve them can come back to bless you in the most unexpected ways.  Tom drew back into the shadow of the wall, for at that moment, the gate opened, and two of the governor's black horses appeared, pulling a large wagon behind them. Tom could just make out the dark forms of several men crouching low on the seat. The horses' hooves must have been padded, for they scarcely made a sound, even on the cobblestones of the courtyard.
