| Summary |
Twelve-year-old Jeremiah Jem Coulter knows that Goldtown, California, has seen the last of the gold rush. But the flecks of gold he and an old prospector, Strike, find in their played-out claim on Cripple Creek spur Jems hope of striking it rich. In the meantime, he and his sister, Ellie, sell frog legs and firewood to bring in extra cash. When Jems father accepts a job as sheriff of lawless Goldtown, Jem is suddenly saddled with an additional responsibilityto run their broken-down ranch. He faces a hard path as he tries to be a man and make his father proud, but then Cripple Creek mysteriously dries up and Strike suddenly disappears. Jem is determined to find out why. Can anything be worse than being a sheriffs kid? Will outlaws use his fathers badge for target practice? Is that silver star just a target ... or truly a badge of honor? Readers ages 8 to 14 fell in love with Susan Marlows Circle C Adventures. Now the same adventurous spirit and historical lure are back in a brand new series featuring a new cast of characters and exciting escapades. As educational as it is entertaining, the Goldtown Adventures series is one the whole family will enjoy. |
