A girl, her mother, and their dog must find a way to survive in gold
rush-era Alaska.
After escaping from his brutal and merciless owner, Murphy is taken in
by a young girl named Sally. She and her mother have just arrived in
Nome, Alaska, intent on joining the other gold seekers and making a new
life. Yet even with Murphy at their side, Sally and Mama find living in
the mining town harsh and forbidding.
When it seems they may have to return to San Francisco, Sally and Murphy
decide to strike out on their own, hoping to find gold and make a
permanent home. But dangers await them--not only blizzards and grizzly
bears, but also Murphy's original owner, who will stop at nothing to get
what he wants.
The Dog Chronicles series features fast-paced, fascinating historical
fiction about working dogs, perfect for readers who love books.
