Jason's Gold

Jason's Gold is by Will Hobbs. Another stellar effort by this wonderful author. Boys especially will not be able to get enough of Hobbs. When fifteen-year-old Jason learns his brothers have headed north into the heart of the Klondike gold rush, he decides to follow them on his own. On the way he learns about survival and greed, and makes some new friends as well - a young writer named Jack London and a black and white huskie named King. An historically accurate story of the excitement and terror that was the Alaskan Gold Rush.

Ratings: 6th grade - 10 out of 10.
