Title: A boy and butler go to the CA Gold Rush to strike it rich.
Product review: I teach fourth grade in California and it is a perfect match to our history curriculum . The delightful book is unusual because of the butler's pride in his calling and the relationship with his 11 year old master, Jack. It discusses the trip around the horn and the disasters of trying to "mine a fortune." The best aspect of this book is as an example of the writing process. There is a lot of foreshadowing, so the entire book was thought out in advance. This is a process I am trying to teach my fourth graders when they write stories. I highly recommend this book.
