A rip-roaring puzzle box of an adventure about grit, guts, and gold,
from Elinor Teele, the acclaimed author of The Mechanical Mind of
John Coggin.
The small, run-down town of Eden is the only place Jenny Burns has ever
called home. The roots of the trees are in her bones, the air of the
mountains is in her breath, the lakes and rivers are in her blood. And
that's why, when her father loses his job and tells Jenny that they may
have to move on from Eden, she knows she can't let that happen.
The fever of New Zealand's gold rush still runs in the veins of Eden,
and everyone knows the legend of Doc Magee: how he found the largest
gold nugget anyone had ever seen and hid it somewhere in the hills
before he disappeared.
Jenny and her best friend, Pandora, know that if they can find the gold,
it'll solve all their problems. But the way is fraught with mysteries,
riddles, and danger--and those are just the threats they know about.
Before her quest is over, Jenny will have to face challenges from within
as well as from without.
