Snow Treasure

Snow Treasure can still be found, decades after it was written. It has had multiple covers over its many editions. It was a Scholastic Book Club monthly selection the third month I was in fourth grade. (The first two were The Road to Agra, which the dog chewed, and Mrs Coverlet's Magicians, which I reread many times.

I loved the story, and was disappointed to later find out it was fiction.  I swear it was not presented that way when I was a child. Though it may have been based on a true story, which I suppose makes me feel a bit better. I sent a copy to my son in Norway, and his fiancee also read it. She had never heard the story before, but thought it possible.
