About This Book

A fifteen-year-old boy heads into the northern gold fields to follow up on his father's trail, joining a feverish stampede of prospectors and staking his own claim. He bonds with a seasoned partner and a team of sled dogs, learns camp craft and northern justice from rough-hewn miners, and endures blizzards, frozen rivers, treacherous trails, and violent encounters with rival men and indigenous groups. The narrative traces a sequence of rescues, narrow escapes, and hard labor that test loyalty and courage, and shows his steady coming of age as he earns respect and grows into a capable, persevering figure of the North.
