Amy Gordon had done it again!! Hopefully, you read The Gorillas of Gill Park and you know Ms. Gordon is an excellent storyteller, filling her tales with suspense, endearing characters, and poignant themes. Twenty Gold Falcons emulates this fantastic formula. Aiden's father has died and she and her mother leave the family farm to live in Gloria with Uncle Tony, an opera singer. She becomes involved in solving the mystery of the missing gold coins. Using elements of an oft repeated story, a friendly mouse, 2 new friends, a family of elevator operators, a clock repairman, and her own ingenuity, she accomplishes what had seemed to be mythical.
