The Hand of Robin Squires by Joan Clark

likecymbeline's review

3.0

I read this one a few times when I was about eleven and I quite liked the macabre aspects of it. I was fascinated by the mysterious "Money Pit" on Oak Island. I wanted it to be true so badly! Around this time I'd gone to a symposium for this program I was in and they'd introduced us to all kinds of strange mysteries and theories that have unsatisfying conclusions—the Philadelphia Experiment, Mayan crystal skulls, that kind of thing—and I never cared if they were true or not. I loved being in suspense and lived in that moment of believing in possibilities. Also loved anything set in Canada, and feel as if I read a far greater amount of Canadian writing as a kid than I do now.
