The Gold Rush Kid by Mary Waldorf

Interest Level: 5th - 8th grade
Reading Level: 6.7 grade
Lexile: N/A
Genre: Historical Fiction

Finished the book



I chose to read this book because Wyatt, a student, suggested it. I agree with Wyatt. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. I recommend it to anyone that enjoys historical fiction. It is a coming of age story told by Billy McGee about his family's journey from Skagway, Alaska to the Canada's Yukon Territory. After the death of their mother, Billy and his sister, who is posing as a boy, make their way through the harsh winter to the Yukon to find their father. Their adventures make for a great story.
