Canyon of Danger – review

Book 3 of Susan K. Marlow’s Goldtown Adventures series has just come out!


Canyon of Danger continues the adventures of 12-year-old Jem Coulter and his sister Ellie during the waning days of the California gold rush. Pa has to be gone for a few days and leaves Jem in charge of the ranch. Jem is excited about this new responsibility… until everything starts to go wrong. It’s a great story for tweens about making wise choices and being dependable. You can read an excerpt here.

 Susan’s books are well-written and engaging, even for us “kids” who are a “little” older than her target demographic. She offers lapbooks and free study guides to go along with each title which makes them great for homeschoolers.

The fourth book in this series, River of Peril, will be out in the Spring of 2014. You can also read my previous reviews of Book 1: Badge of Honor and Book 2: Tunnel of Gold.

Thank you to Kregel for sending me a review copy.
