Meissner, David and Richarson, Kim, Call
of the Klondike. Pgs. 107. Calkins Creek, 2014. $16.95. INFORMATION.
When gold arrives in Seattle,
thousand of men rush to get to the Klondike goldfields. The journey is risky
and prospectors must haul a year’s worth of supplies over 500 miles of
treacherous lakes and rivers to reach their destination in Canada. Two prospectors,
Will Stanley Pearce and Marshall Bond, want to join the rush, but will they
survive and strike it rich?
A tense, action-packed, true
adventure told through amazing historical photos, letters, diary entries, and
newspaper articles. This book is wonderfully laid out and draws the reader in
with ease while excellently covering a period of history. To top off this
book’s awesomeness, this book also includes further multimedia sources for more
information and a bibliography. Ideal for use in achieving common core goals,
this book will appeal not only to reluctant readers, but adventure and
non-fiction fans as well. Recommended for all libraries. MS, HS. ESSENTIAL.
