I loved this book - made me wish I had a river at the bottom of my garden too. (  ) sirfurboy | Apr 23, 2009 |  This is one of the best children's books I've ever read. It is a fantastic read-aloud. Two boys become friends because of a small canoe, The Minnow. Great mysteries are solved, homes are saved, history comes alive. With ink drawings by Edward Ardizzone, The Minnow Leads to Treasure is the first and best of Philippa Pearce's books. ( ) SaintSunniva | Nov 23, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
David can't believe his luck when a worn wooden canoe mysteriously appears on the banks of the River Say behind his house. With summer stretching endlessly before him, it seems too good to be true.
Soon there is another boy--Adam, the Minnow's rightful owner. Adam wants his boat back...but something else, too: a trustworthy friend to help him find the long lost ancestral jewels that could save his family from financial disaster!
Can two boys find what history has kept an untouchable secret for hundreds of years? Or will they lose the race against timeand against another treasure seeker lurking at the river's edge.
