This exciting adventure novel is one that children and adults will love. The
story is told by Murphy’s point of view. I found Alison Hart’s book to be very fun,
unique, and educational. Children and adults can learn so much by reading this
lovable story! Learning about the gold rush and the hard life that people lived
through in Alaska. The climate there is very harsh. Readers will love following
Murphy the gold rush dog, Sally the little girl, and Sally’s mother as they try to
make a living. Will Sally be able to keep Murphy or will his awfully mean owner
come back to get him? Will Sally and her mother be able to find gold? What
hardships come their way?
I enjoyed reading this brilliant novel and following the characters as their
journeys continued. I believe that this book can definitely be considered as a
crossover. Alison Hart has written a beautiful story with amazing characters. Her
stunning plot will keep you reading! I also enjoyed learning more about Alaska and
the hardships of life there. I would definitely recommend this novel to readers
everywhere to pick up and read. A very fascinating story that comes to life on
every page. Overall, I rate this book a 5 out of 5 stars!
