When word of the Klondike gold rush reaches San Francisco, recently orphaned fourteen-year-old James decides to seek his fortune. Partnering with an orphaned girl (who's passing herself off as a boy), the two endure the harsh journey through the frozen Northern Territories. Vividly detailed passages help propel the story and bring the adventure to life.
