Mystery at Chilkoot Pass

An American Girl History Mystery

By: Barbara Steiner

Narrated by: Johanna Parker

Gold fever sweeps the country as a twelve-year-old aspiring writer travels to the Yukon with her family and best friend, fighting natural disasters and a clever thief

After traveling from San Francisco by steam ship, Hetty McKinley, her best friend, Alma, and their families prepare for the five-hundred-mile trek north to the gold fields of the Yukon. It’s only September, but the Arctic Circle is already frigid.

As the two families, along with hundreds of other prospectors, camp out for the night near the outpost of Dyea, Hetty catches a glimpse of the legendary Chilkoot Pass, the narrow gap through which they’ll cross Alaska into Canada. But the next morning, Alma’s mother discovers that all their money is gone! A few days later, Hetty’s cherished locket, containing a photograph of her dead mother, disappears.

More thefts soon follow, but these are the least of their problems. Soon, the group is battling typhoid, blizzards, and a terrifying avalanche. Will Hetty and her family and friends survive their journey to the top of the world?

What would you do if a time machine was real?
Well first I would take all my money (aka I would be rich), I would take as many phones as I could put my hands on (aka bunch of iPhone 12’s). I would take a diamond play button if I could get 5 mil subs when I get a YouTube acc, and last but not least I will take a bunch of tv’s. I would try to make as much money as I could because everyone would be trying to get their hands on my stuff, hope this review was helpful!
