1-3Ready-for-Chapters: The Klondike Kid series.
Illustrated by
Bill Farnsworth.
Eleven-year-old Davey, caught up in the 1897 Klondike gold rush and hoping to find Uncle Walt, his only living relative, stows away on an Alaska-bound ship in the Seattle harbor. Appealing black-and-white drawings place the story in its historical setting. This well-paced chapter book will appeal to historical fiction buffs and whet their appetites for further adventures in the proposed trilogy.
