Readers ages 8 to 14 fell in love with Susan Marlow's Circle C Adventures. Now the same adventurous spirit and historical lure are back in a six-book series featuring a new cast of characters and exciting escapades. As educational as it is entertaining, Goldtown Adventures is all about twelve-year-old Jeremiah "Jem" Coulter, who knows that Goldtown, California, has seen the last of the gold rush. But he and an old prospector, "Strike" find a few flecks of gold. Could there be more? When Jem's father accepts a job as sheriff of lawless Goldtown, Jem is suddenly saddled with an additional responsibility--to run their brokendown ranch.
