(4) 1-3 Ready-for-Chapters: The Klondike Kid series. Illustrated by Bill Farnsworth. In Trail, orphan Davey and two adult friends fearlessly cross the Chilkoot Trail by sled; in Adventure, they continue on, sailing their handcrafted boat to gold-fever-mad Dawson, where Davey searches for his uncle. These books are marred by clichés but capably relate the agonies and thrills of Davey's journey. Farnsworth's black-and-white illustrations capture the 1897 setting. Review covers these Ready-for-Chapters: The Klondike Kid titles: Adventure in Gold Town and The Long Trail.
