Summary: Jason's Silver
Review: Jason's Gold is a good book, not a great book, a good book. Jason is a papreboy in seattle and learns that there was a gold discovery in alaska. He want to go get the gold and leave his family, except his dog. I say if you like history on the gold rushes of the world, that you will like this book the takes place during the Klondike Rush>

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: Jason's Gold is a wonderful book. It's full of adventure and everything you would want in a book. I have read all of Will Hobbs's books including Ghost Canoe (which was also a great book)but I'd have to say this is his best book yet. It's about a boy who left home and wondered across America. He became a newspaper boy and that's how he found out there was a gold rush in Alaska. So he went all the way to Alaska only to find.... You didn't really think that I would tell you the ending did you. Jason's Gold is probably the best book I've read for a long time.

Summary: book review
Review: Jason's Gold, written by Will Hobs, is an exciting book. It takes place in the snowy mountains of Alaska in 1897. One of the main characters, Jason, fifteen, is seeking to find his brothers,while Charlie, twelve, has his leg amputated because of frostbite from the cold weather. It was all because his dad made him come look for gold.

The story is mainly about Jason and Charlie who are out to seek gold in the Klondike. During their adventure, they find a lot of danger. If you're a reader who loves an escapade, I would recommend this story to you. Although it has many sorrowful sections in it, it's a great book to read because of the main plot in the olden times. In the end you'll be wishing Will Hobs made a sequel.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Klondike Or Bust
Review: Jason, a 15 year old boy, lives alone in New York working as a paper boy. Once he finds out about the Klondike Goldrush he is determined to get there and stake his claim. When he arrives in Seattle to find his brothers there, he finds out that they have allready left to got to the Klondike and they took his $500 that his father had inherited to him...The ending is great and the book is full of excitement. The first few chapters are a little slow, but the book is worth continuing. Will Hobbs did a fine job on expressing the characters feelings and showing the reality of the Klondike Goldrush. I liked this book because it related well to young readers. Jason's Gold was a good book and it will be worth the time to read.

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: Gauby's Review
Review: Taking place in the late 1880's Jason Hawthorn set out with hundred's of thousands of people to the Klondike Rush in Alaska. Hoboing it on a train, then on a boat and dropped off in Juneau, Alaska. Jason's goal was to strike it rich and find his two older brothers which had a lead on him. Jason comes to meet Jack London, an aspiring writer from California and other not so famous people. Jason's Gold is an awesome story about the struggle of the youngest kid in a family and befriending a HUsky who was tortured by it's master. Read this compelling book and I promise you, you'll enjoy it!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: not the best book ever!
Review: The book was recomended to me by a teacher who said it was a great book.When I read it at first I believed her, but as the book went on I say how boreing the book realy was!If you like books with dull taste and an even duller plot you would like this book alot.The book has absolutly no humor or anyhting in that concept!So in conclusion don't read it, unless if used for a sleeping aid!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Against All Odds
Review: The book, Jason's Gold, written by Will Hobbs, conveys themes of determination, disappointment, and hardship. These themes led to a well-written, page turning thriller that makes you feel lucky for all that you have.
Fifteen-year-old Jason Hawthorn hears news of a gold rush, taking place in the Klondike. Jason leaves his job as a newspaper boy, and is immediately infected with klondicitis as it comes to be called, or Klondike fever. Jason wishes to return home to Seattle, and rejoin his two older brothers, Abe and Ethan, and then set out for gold!
Along the way, Jason runs into many problems, such as food shortages, transportation, bone-chilling cold, and fierce competition with other people infected with Klondike fever. To survive the elements along the way, Jason has to use all of his skills, and comes blisteringly close to death. Just making it to Dawson city, where the gold has been found, will be a challenge. Jason will have to battle infamous trails such as the Dead Horse Trail, and the Chilkoot Pass. This is not including a 500-mile trip down the Yukon River that must also be completed, and completed before the harsh winter sets in, and the river freezes up.
Jason's Gold is a book for anyone who enjoys suspense and action, with sudden turns along the way. Jason shows amazing courage and a will to survive that fuel him along his journey. This story is based on the ancient Greek myth, Jason and the Argonauts, which tells of Jason braving impossible odds to retrieve the Golden Fleece. Will Jason Hawthorn retrieve his golden fleece, or will he fall the at the hands of the merciless Klondike?

Rating: 5 stars
