Much Ado about Grubstake

265 pp. | Harcourt | August, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-15-205706-4 $17.00
(3) 4-6 Sixteen-year-old Arley runs a rooming house in the mining town of Grubstake, Colorado, in 1888. With the help of her group of sorry boarders, she figures out why rich developers suddenly show an interest in the tapped-out mines. The plot is far-fetched, but the colorful characters are likable and the humorously entertaining writing is engaging.
