No one much expects Rusty to go out in the desert beyond Rhyolite, a small mining town in Nevada's Amargosa Desert, and come home with the Mother Lode. No one, that is, except his two good Chinese... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I read this book for my sixth grade class assignment. This book teaches kids about the Gold Rush and how people became so popular when they discovered just the smallest amount of gold. I got very involved in the character's personality's and their solid and diverse friendship. It taught me that racism has old roots in our country. But friendship can overcome the hate and distrust. I recommend this book to kids especially, but everyone would enjoy it.
