It's the late 1800s and gold rush fever has taken hold. Matt and Emily, with the help of their magic sled, join the Klondike gold rush for a "rich" adventure. Will they find gold or lose their shirts? The people are colourful, the land is rugged, and this adventure is unlike anything else Matt and Emily have ever experienced.
Young readers will be swept up in this third adventure from the riveting Canadian Flyer Adventures series. Beautifully illustrated and full of historical tidbits, the engaging story puts a fresh slant on a part of Canadian history.
Ages 6-9.
