Gold Rush!Seattle, July 1897Ever since his mother died, Davey has had a secret plan: He's saving his money so he can run away to Alaska to find Uncle Walt, the only relative he has. No one is going to stop him -- not even mean Mrs. Tinker, who owns the Seattle boardinghouse where Davey lives and works.When gold is discovered in the Klondike, Davey is convinced that's where he'll find his uncle. But then Davey's money disappears, and with it his hopes of finding his uncle -- until Davey comes up with a new, much more dangerous plan.
Eleven-year-old Davey Hull's dream of running away from the Seattle boarding house he has been living in since his mother's death is thwarted when his secret cache of money is stolen, so in plan B, he decides to find his uncle who believes is in Alaska, prospecting for gold.
