(2) YA In Gold Rush–era America, fifteen-year-old Leah's parents are murdered by a grasping uncle who knows about her secret "gold-witching" talent; Leah flees west from her family's Georgia homestead, disguised as a boy. With an organically diverse cast, three-dimensional characters, a vividly evoked setting, and the lightest touch of romance, Carson's novel captures the trepidation and exhilaration of journeying into the unknown.
