Feisty young Annyrose teams up with that rapscallion bandit, Joaquin Murieta, in this almost-true California Gold Rush adventure by the Newbery Award–winning author of By the Great Horn Spoon.
As the mismatched duo forges their unlikely friendship, the rollicking plot twists and turns through the history of the era—the Mexican-American Wars aftermath, confiscation of land from Mexicans, racist mining camp "laws," and the stereotypes each group holds against the other.
“An action-packed narrative . . . detailed and authentic.”
—Booklist, Starred“All the trademarks of one of Fleischman’s rollicking yarns are here . . . delivered with a double helping of humor.”
—Publishers Weekly, Starred
