The Three Gold Doubloons
by Edith Thacher Hurd
Great Historical Fiction book
I used this to read aloud to my younger son and we really enjoyed the story! My boys love historical fiction and this was another great one to add to our collection.
My children wanted me to keep reading
My children and I loved this book. We read it along with the History 1 set. The story added and enriched our journey through history. My kids didn’t want me to stop reading! We needed to find out what happened next at every chapter. This book was very well written.
Great Story!
Our family used this book as a read aloud. We loved learning about the pre-Revolutionary War era. We all loved seeing this time in the colonies through Tom’s eyes as he navigated this new area.
Enjoyable
We learned a lot and felt like we were right there in the daily life during the revolution. It was good and we enjoyed it!
All that said It definitely wasn’t our favorite read aloud from The Good and the Beautiful.
Great story
Great story and perfect for History 1 Unit 3. Kids enjoyed it and wanted to know what would happen next.

Tom drew back into the shadow of the wall, for at that moment, the gate opened and two of the governor’s black horses appeared pulling a large wagon behind them. Tom could just make out the dark forms of several men crouching low on the seat. The horses’ hoofs must have been padded, for they scarcely made a sound even on the cobblestones of the courtyard.
This wonderful tale follows the adventures of a printer’s apprentice, Tom Cartwright, in colonial Williamsburg. Not only is Tom caught up in an exciting historical time period, but also in an engaging plot. With skillful writing, the author weaves in inspiring messages, such as how kind actions to those who don’t deserve them can come back to bless you in the most unexpected ways.
“When I read this book, I knew it was one that needed to be brought back to the world. It has everything that makes a worthy book: high literary, moral, educational, and entertainment value. If you are a parent that likes to feed your child’s mind with literature that uplifts and teaches, this book is a wonderful choice.”—Jenny Phillips
