"Treasure Scope" by Linda Frye
(PublishAmerica, $14.95)
The Oklahoman, December 25, 2005 by Linda O'Hern
Ada teacher Linda Frye has written a treasure hunter's book from the viewpoint of an 11-year-old boy. Inspired by "Treasure Island," Frye's story includes dimensions of new technology (a metal detector that causes treasures to glow in the dark) and old wizardry (the electromagnetic technique known as dousing).
Add to this a global positioning system and a child homeschooled while helping his family discover millions of dollars in old gems, silver and gold, and you have a tale of enchantment.
