In "To Alaska for Gold; Or, The Fortune Hunters of the Yukon," Edward Stratemeyer crafts an adventurous narrative set against the backdrop of the late 19th-century Gold Rush, a period marked by ambition and peril.

Edward Stratemeyer was a prolific writer and founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, influencing the creation of many beloved children's series. His personal experiences, coupled with the socio-economic context of the Gold Rush era, shaped his approach to storytelling, weaving moral lessons into thrilling adventures. Stratemeyer understood the imagination of youth and sought to inspire them through tales of adventure that underscored themes of resilience and aspiration. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in historical fiction and adventure tales, as it immerses them in a pivotal moment in American history while also providing insights into the human spirit. Whether for scholarly pursuits or leisurely reading, Stratemeyer'Äôs work remains an engaging exploration of ambition, resilience, and the quest for fortune.

    The gang have been hunting for Isabella for weeks, but there's no sign of her in the Unlands. They can't even find the portal through to Annwn. And Vivi hasn't told the rest of the gang about what happened with the villainous Arawn appearing in her dream. She definitely hasn't mentioned how scared she is to fall asleep, in case he reappears. Even Nimue has been quiet. As much as Vivi wants to hope that it's all over, part of her knows it isn't...
    
    On Dara's birthday, an invitation comes from their cousin Meredith; come stay on Bardsey Island for a week, stay at their cottage, and celebrate Halloween. And bring all your friends! Vivi can't refuse an opportunity to go back to Wales, and her friends are immediately excited for star-spotting, foraging, hiking, and just general adventuring. Little do they know, they are about to be thrown into a huge high-stakes treasure hunt, with the fate of the world resting on them (again). And Vivi's feeling that Arawn is just waiting to reappear is only growing stronger...
