Jem’s Frog Fiasco: Goldtown Beginnings, Book 2 (Susan K. Marlow)
$5.25$6.50
In Jem’s Frog Fiasco, Jem needs to buy food for his dog, Gold Nugget. But try as he may, his panning just never leads to gold. When he asks for a job, Mr. Sims, the cafe owner, sends him out to catch bullfrogs for the menu. Money and frog catching – what a great solution for this active boy!
But Nugget and Jem’s little sister, Ellie, get in the way and ruin his plans. When he argues with Ellie, she stomps off in a huff, and Jem can get back to work. He heads home with a bucket full of frogs and the knowledge that he’ll have plenty of cash for Nugget’s food.
There’s just one big problem – no one knows where Ellie has gone. She’s disappeared! Search parties go out, but no matter where they look, there’s no sign of her. And Jem knows that it’s all his fault for yelling at her. Can he find Ellie before it’s too late?

Badge of Honor: Goldtown Adventures Book 1 (Susan K. Marlow)
$7.50Twelve-year-old Jeremiah “Jem” Coulter knows that Goldtown, California, has seen the last of the gold rush. But the flecks of gold he and an old prospector, “Strike,” find in their played-out claim on Cripple Creek spur Jem’s hope of striking it rich. In the meantime, he and his sister, Ellie, sell frog legs and firewood to bring in extra cash.
When Jem’s father accepts a job as sheriff of lawless Goldtown, Jem is suddenly saddled with an additional responsibility–to run their broken-down ranch. He faces a hard path as he tries to be a man and make his father proud, but then Cripple Creek mysteriously dries up and Strike suddenly disappears. Jem is determined to find out why. Can anything be worse than being a sheriff’s kid? Will outlaws use his father’s badge for target practice? Is that silver star just a target . . . or truly a badge of honor?
