this book is like none other, this was a really good book and i like everything about it. it was very funny and cool. i would like if there was a number 2

A young boy named Jack heads of to the gold fields in California to strike it rich and prevent his family from having to sell their old house, and accompanied by his ever faithful butler, Praisworthy. As the two of them travel through california to strike it rich, they experience adventure after adventure, and many hilarious experiences. Will they ever finally strike it rich and return home? I enjoyed the fun, humorous instances and the story behind it all.

It’s really cool I really like the end why they marry

My mom got it at the library and I loved it! I am reading it for school and I still love it! It's about a boy and a butler who run away to get their family gold from California in the mid 1800's because they are running out of money. They meet many different people including miners, cutthroats, outlaws and auctioneers read the rest to find out if they strike it rich!

da best gold rush book ever

The book was LAME! But i liked the movie A LOT!

good movie but boring book

The reason i say this book is good because there is a lot of humor and facts about the gold rush.

This was another confusing book for me. I don't really understand the way people talked and some of the conversations. If I understood it better, I would be more into it. I wouldn't recommend this book unless you understand books well and are reallllllly smart.
