(2) 4-6 A lost gold mine is the pivotal element in this rapidly paced Western adventure, but the real treasure is Fleischman's ability to spin a yarn. Newly orphaned, twelve-year-old Bo Gamage travels from San Francisco to the Mojave Desert to join his estranged relations who hate him on sight because of a long-standing family feud--the resolution of which is the happy conclusion to this light-as-cotton-candy concoction, set in contemporary times.
