"We've got millions!" the prospectors roared to the throng at Seattle's docks. "The Klondike is the richest goldfield in the world!" Within moments, the telegraph is humming the news. Within hours, fifteen-year-old Jason Hawthorn is rushing west from New York City with a bad case of Klondike fever.
For readers who love a survival story told with bone-chilling authenticity, Will Hobbs has spun a saga of courage, friendship and endurance set under the northern lights and amidst the actual events of the Klondike gold rush.

      Hobbs's hero from JASON'S GOLD continues his Gold Rush adventures when he enters the Alaska Commercial Company's race from Dawson City to Nome, Alaska. Hindered by the conniving of Cornelius Donner; assisted by the mutt, Burnt Paw; and inspired by the Princess of Dawson, Jamie Dunavant--Jason Hawthorn follows his dreams. Boyd Gaines narrates with the enthusiasm of a determined 18-year-old set on recovering his family sawmill and living "life on his own hook." Discouraged at times, elated at others, Gaines keeps the tension of the race alive and, at the same time, shares the adventure with immediacy. He voices convincingly the slick crook and the talented teammate and soul mate. A.R. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
