The figurative language is delightful as well as the use of gypsy words such as "hatchi-witchu" and "chavo". Jingo and his companion are in a race for the treasure. Boys and girls alike enjoy this novel. I read it every year with my seventh graders and have my advanced students develop a project that requires higher level thinking skills.
Adveture!
