An Inside Look at The Silver Coin & The Puzzle Box
The Mycenaean captain laughed. “We’re burning your ship. There’ll be no record of what happened here. By the time anyone realizes you’re missing, you’ll all be slaves of Mycenaean merchants or landowners. And I’ll be that much richer!"
Numbness overtook Sam, and he hugged his arms to his chest. For the past three years he'd worked hard to find Uncle Zim. Now, at sixteen, he watched in despair as his future hopes went up in flames, just like the sail of the Phoenician ship.
