But it is 1848, and Tory isn't even allowed to go to school, much less travel all the way from Rhode Island to California. Determined to take control of her own destiny, Tory stows away on the ship. Though San Francisco is frenzied and full of wild and dangerous men, Tory finds freedom and friendship there. Until one day, when Father is in the gold fields, her younger brother, Jacob, is kidnapped. And so Tory is spurred on a treacherous search for him in Rotten Row, a part of San Francisco Bay crowded with hundreds of abandoned ships. Beloved storyteller Avi is at the top of his form as he ushers us back to an extraordinary time of hope and risk, brought to life by a heroine readers will cheer for. Spot-on details and high suspense make this a vivid, absorbing historical adventure"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 10-14 $b Thorndike Press 521 $a Grades 7-9 $b Thorndike Press 650 $a Kidnapping $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Stowaways $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Families. $v Juvenile fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l SWPB522 $d 20240229011638.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20200623010329.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2C384A5E95A811EAA290F02C97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
