Snow Treasure

Snow Treasure
by Marie McSwigan, originally published in 1942.

Summary
Peter Lundstrom never thought he would become a hero. Nazi troops parachuted into Peter's tiny village and held it captive. Nobody thought they could be defeated -- until Uncle Victor told Peter how the children of the village could fool the enemy.

It was a dangerous plan. Peter and his friends had to slip past Nazi guards with nine million dollars in gold hidden on their sleds. It meant risking their country's treasure -- and their lives.
