|  | Destination Gold! by Julie Lawson
It's 1897, and 16-year-old Ned Turner leaves his mother and sister and his Victoria, British Columbia home in search of gold in the Klondike. Losing everything he has in a card game, Ned becomes indebted to a gambler, Montana. Another 16-year-old, Catherine, winds up in the Klondike upon fleeing the man who won her in a card game with her father. The man is the same Montana who has his hands around Ned. Sarah, Ned's sister, strikes out to find her brother, and these three stories converge in a dramatic conclusion. With archival photographs. AUTHOR: Julie Lawson
