Silver Statue is an amazing story for young readers and adults alike!

Best friends B.T. and Jimmy are fishing on the bank of a river when
B.T. notices some movement at an old abandoned house. With the help of
some spy knowledge, they embark on a quest to find an old statue from
the revolutionary war. Their journey almost gets one of them captured
by two robbers searching for the statue as well, and forces them to
figure out numerous puzzles. My boys 9 and 5 were on the edges of
their seats, listening to the adventures of these two Vermont boys.
