Jingo Django

Jingo Hawks is out of luck when Mrs. Daggatt from the orphan house hires him out as a chimney sweep to the awful General Dirty-Face Scurlock. But it's gypsy luck that puts Jingo into the right chimney and then into the care of the mysterious Mr. Peacock, who claims to know Jingo's scoundrel father. Together they set out on a treasure hunt for buried gold. But they are not alone - those nasty gold diggers Mrs. Daggatt and General Scurlock are hot on their trail.

Jingo Django review.

I enjoyed listening to this with my children! A couple of twists that I didn’t guess. A fun book!

Good clean story.

Loved the characters. Interesting historical reading about the time and places where the story took place. Sid Fleishman is a great author.
