Rating:
Summary: A girl's adventures during the silver rush.
Review: Ever since her father headed west to mine for silver in Colorado, motherless twelve-year-old Valentine "Vallie" Harper has lived with her relatives in Pennsylvania. Her aunt is sympathetic, but her uncle resents her and her cousin plays mean pranks on her. Disguising herself as a boy and taking the money her father left for her, Vallie sets out for Colorado with the intention of finding her father. But many obstacles stand in her way, and it will take all her courage and determination to complete the journey and begin the long search for her father. I highly reccomend this novel to fans of historical fiction.
