Pam Lowder is a twelve-year-old girl with a special gift for handling animals. She and her father raise the best homing pigeons on the North Carolina coast. One reason they are the best is that her father has developed a way to train their birds to fly at night. But the year is 1918. Pam's father is a soldier in World War I and is far away in Europe. When a stranger with a foreign accent shows up in the area, some people suspect he is a spy. Pam becomes even more suspicious when the stranger offers her a lot of money for her pigeons and, after she refuses to sell, the birds start disappearing.
This entry in the "history mystery" series won an award for best children's mystery of the year 2000. My daughter still likes "The Smuggler's Treasure" best of the six books that we have now completed in this series, but I can vouch for the fact that she has enjoyed them all. Like all the others, this one gives the young reader an appealing young heroine, an engaging story, and some solid historical background. All in all, a very good book for girls in the 9 to 12 age group. Highly recommended.
