My name is Eleanor : a Bannerman Island adventure
(Book)

Greg and Jill are assigned a treasure hunt as part of a class project. The setting for the hunt is the mysterious and intriguing Bannerman Island located in New York's Hudson River. The remains of castles built by arms and munitions businessman Francis Bannerman provide a looming, almost eerie backdrop for this piece of children's historical fiction. Along the way, Jill and Greg encounter a most unusual woman. Is she real? Is she magical? Their journey is enhanced by her tales of life growing up on the island many decades ago. A number of funny and scary incidents unfold as they trek around the island. Their classmates doubt Jill and Greg's stories. Can the adventurous pair convince them otherwise? Part fiction, part true memoirs, My Name is Eleanor provides the reader with a glimpse into growing up in a most unique place during simpler, but more rugged times.
