Publisher Description
"Gold!" Jason shouted at the top of his lungs. "Read all about it! Gold discovered in Alaska!"
Within hours of hearing the thrilling news, fifteen-year-old Jason Hawthorn jumps a train for Seattle, stow away on a ship bound for the goldfields, and joins thousands of fellow prospectors attempting the difficult journey to the Klondike. The Dead Horse Trail, the infamous Chilkott Pass, and a five-hundred-mile trip by canoe down the Yukon River lie ahead. With help from a young writer named Jack London, Jason and his dog face moose, bears, and the terrors of a subartic winter in this bone-chilling survival story.

Pure gold
This book was amazing even though some people say it is bad. It even has a sequel called: Down the Yukon. That one was sooooo good. I personally like that one better but you can’t have one without the other. This one was still a great read though.👍😊🥇🏆😀🏞 📚📖📕📗
Favorite of Hobbs' books
We've read five or six of his books so far and like this one the most. It was all believable. Some of his books are so crazy that it's hard to fathom the adventures. This book was real...
Worst book ever
This is the worst book I have ever read. I was forced to read it and I was really disappointed at how terrible it was after hearing some good reviews. DON’T READ THIS BOOK
