Description
Jem Strikes Gold is the first title in a new six-book series by Susan K. Marlow, set in California during the gold rush era. This exciting story follows seven-year-old Jem Coulter and his family as they try to make a living in the small town of Goldtown.
The year is 1859, and Jem's family is struggling to get by. His father pans for gold, while his mother bakes pies and does laundry to earn money. But when a rich boy named Will Sterling starts picking on Jem, things become difficult for the young family. Can Jem find a way to stop Will's mean behaviour and save the day?
With the help of Strike-It-Rich Sam, a prospector friend with a loyal dog, Jem might just have an answer to his problems. This charming story is full of characters that young readers can relate to, and teaches kids about history in a fun and exciting way.
