But when their search turns up empty, Pan begins to wonder if he's broken in this lighthearted glimpse into gold rush history." -New York Public Library, Best Books for Kids 2019 (Nonfiction History) "Though the story is humorous and the protagonist playful, there is some meaty geology and history to be mined within, including information on iron pyrite (aka fool's gold: 'Drat!') and how to pan for gold.
