Honorable Mention for 2013 Edna Ferber Award-Book Length Fiction.
"High adventure in the mountains of Nicaragua "
Dutch Schultz did not want to be ordinary. He wanted to be a "big adventure guy." He found his adventure prospecting and panning for gold. He found it just after the Nicaraguan Revolution and at the start of the Contra War. He found himself up against "Comandante Cincuenta" of the Sandinista Army and other nefarious characters. He found more than he had bargained for And he learned about life along the way.
This is a coming of age tale unlike any you've read before. A great read for teens and adults alike.
