Down the Yukon

Rating:
Summary: An exciting and Fun Book
Review: Beginning in the city of Dawson in the Yukon, Jason and his dreamgirl, Jamie, paddle a canoe in a race to Nome against hundreds of others! The time is the gold rush at the turn of the 1900s in the Yukon territory. The setting is colorful, with nods to the gambling, drinking, and dancing that took place during the time. Names from the old west, such as Wyatt Earp and Calamity Jane appear in the tale that gives a good sketch of what was taking place at the time.

The story begins well with a confrontation between the brothers and the Sydney Mauler and carries along well, but it did not seem believable. When Jamie and Jason venture to race together, I wondered how a teenage boy and girl travelling together would have been perceived and was somewhat disappointed that this aspect was ignored. Though Down the Yukon is the sequel to Jason's Gold, it most defnitely stands on its own as a story, and for that Will Hobbs is to be commended... I look forward to reading more of his work.

Review: Down Yhe Yukon, was a very good book it had many exciting and interesting parts. I thought it had some very dull or boring parts to it though. It takes place after the gold rush in alaska with Jason Hawthorn, Jamie Dunavant, and A dog named Burnt Paw. Dawson City just burtn down and Jason lost his job and goes to join a race up the Yukon River to get his company back. He is in the race with Jamie the girl he loves and his dog Burnt Paw who saved from an famous boxer. While this race they go through many difficult and rough times.Its up to whether to see if wins the race now.
