Review: I would tell you my thoughts about this great story, but the government might be reading this...

A father helps his boy try to solve the mystery of the missing gold but no one can find it. With a tip of the hat to Jack Finney and a whimsical tone, we find the father helping his determined son Richard Smalton time travel to the past to figure out this conundrum, even though it is a difficult journey. Told from the point of view of a cantankerous old man who believes (rightfully so?) that the government is watching him, the father tells his tale with plenty of charm and plausible deniability. The folksy way of sharing this great story enriched the tale while immersing me in the engrossing details of the history behind the gold. It also kept me chuckling with the humorous moments and was very inventive in its execution of the full story and how it ended.
