The Secret of the Silver Mines

Dylan Maples is on the move again when his parents bring him to Cobalt Ontario in the middle of a bitter winter. The town was once a rich mining area, but now has nothing but a storied past and the long-abandoned mines.

A rich man from Toronto hires Dylan’s dad to help solve a ninety-year-old mystery. The rich man’s grandfather was robbed of a fortune of silver, and the only person who may have answers is the bizarre old man in the town’s haunted house.

With no one except Dylan willing to help his father, finding out whether the silver was really stolen and where it could be hidden will be much more challenging than they anticipated.

Book: The secret Of The Silver Mines
Author: Shane Peacock
Publisher: Nimbus Publishing

I want to say a huge thank you to Digitally Lit and Nimbus Publishing for the awesome free book and for allowing me to rep Atlantic Canada!

This book follows our main character Dylan Maples as his family moves to Cobalt, Ontario, to assist with the adventure of a lifetime helping an older gentleman who is wanting the money stolen from him but when they come across a lot of bone chilling experiences they must band together to live.

I liked the whole premise of the book and thought it was extremely well written. My favourite part was when Dylan meets his new friend Wynona Dixon and their friendship blossom.

I liked this book so much that I stayed up late to finish reading it. I liked how it always left off with a cliff hanger at the end of each chapter. I liked how I was able to picture everything in the book.

Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a great adventure book to keep you hooked till the end!
I rate it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars

The Secret of the Silver Mines Book Review

I went into this book expecting another adventure like the last one I read, and that is what I got, but it was a little different this time. I got to know Dylan a little better, and there was also a new character who I really liked, a girl named Wynona Dixon. Wynona has flowy blonde hair is really good at playing hockey, and wants to get to the bottom of the case that Dylan’s dad (who’s a lawyer) has been hired to solve. See, Dylan’s dad was hired by this millionaire guy who owns the company that like… bought rights (?) to some silver that Wyn’s great grandpa found and claimed years and years ago. See, the thing with this is that it’s a middle grade book. It was a little tricky for me to wrap my head around this stuff, and I’m 14, while the target audience for this book is 8-12. I honestly found it a little boring compared to the first one. But other than that, I did really enjoy reading it and I loved that there were new characters! I love this series. It’s so fun to read. Dylan also reminds me a lot of Percy Jackson, and his adventures are a little bit similar too, minus the whole Greek gods mythology and stuff 😉

That’s all. Bye bye 👋🏽 Please check out the Dylan Maples Adventure series, you can be my best friend if you do 👍🏽 *throws my best friend under a bus*

I recommend this book.
