A kid's horror book, from a guy who I understand did a lot of them. It was about a cursed three-cent piece with a colorful backstory involving cavalry in the Civil War - I think this was the first book I read that mentioned what swaggering idiots nineteenth-century cavaliers were. The main character is a boy with a female best friend and a taxidermically stuffed owl. He may have worn the three-cent piece around his neck; I remember cringing when Lord Of The Rings first mentioned Frodo doing likewise.
