This is a fifteen-year-old boy's adventure aboard a train, a ship and afoot as he journeys to the Klondike in the late 1800s.
Incredible discoveries await the reader of this survival tale.

Good Y.A. novel about the gold rush in the Klondike near the Alaskan border of Canada. Kind of rough actions make this better for more mature readers (15 and up?).
