I am reviewing a copy of the Great Gold Rush Adventure through Girl Friday Productions/Bird Upstairs Books and Netgalley:
This easy to read beautifully illustrated adventure will take the reader on an adventure that they aren’t likely to forget. You will be transported back to 1897 Gold Rush Era, Seattle which at the time is bustling with fortune seekers headed to the goldfields!
While Walter an errand boy chases an adventurous pup named Dusty onto a steamship bound for the Klondike, he also meets Hal, an old prospector. Soon the trio teams up on a Great adventure from Seattle’s Miners Landing to the icy shores of Alaska to the Golden Horseshoe Saloon to a frozen landscape with promises of riches underground—risking life and limb for a chance at making their fortune. Every miner dreams of gold, but will Walter, Dusty, and Hal be the ones to strike it rich?
Not only does The Great Gold Adventure tell the fictional tale of the trio, but it is tells the historic facts telling the reader how in 1897 hen a ship bearing two tons of gold from the Klondike docked alongside the site of Pier 57 in 1897, it triggered a gold rush that thrilled the world and led to Seattle’s establishment as a world-class city. The historical Minders Landing site, located on Seattle’s waterfront, where almost 7 million tourists visit each year, is just steps from the Seattle Aquarium and the Pike Place Market. It is home to one of Seattle’s most beloved tourist destinations, the Seattle Great Wheel, which 1 million visitors ride each year.
If you’re a child looking for an adventurous read or simply a child at Heart, I highly recommend The Great Gold Rush Adventure.
Five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
