It’s 1864 and Goldtown, California, has seen the last of its gold rush days. But twelve-year-old Jem Coulter and his prospector friend, “Strike,” keep hoping they might strike it rich. In the meantime, he and his sister, Ellie, will keep helping Pa try to make ends meet on their broken-down ranch. Then Pa accepts a job as sheriff of lawless Goldtown, and Jem’s world turns upside down. How many outlaws will use Pa’s badge for target practice? When Cripple Creek mysteriously dries up, Jem’s gold dreams dribble away. Strike has also disappeared, and Jem is determined to find some answers. Will the danger prove the star on Pa’s chest is just a target? Or convince Jem that it is truly a badge of honor?
