$5.25In 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?

Jem and the Golden Reward: Goldtown Beginnings, Book 5 (Susan K. Marlow)
$5.25No one really knows where Jem’s beloved dog, Nugget, came from when Strike-it-rich Sam found him. Jem doesn’t care; he just knows he loves his pup. But now missing dog posters are going up around town–and the dog looks just like Nugget!
It turns out the pooch is a golden retriever, a brand-new breed that’s very rare. A rich man from Scotland was visiting San Francisco when one of his dogs was lost in the mountains above Goldtown. There’s a reward for the dog’s return–and mean Will Sterling wants the money.
Jem is desperate to keep his furry best friend, and he’s sure Nugget wants to stay with him too. But when he tries to hide out in the woods, he has no idea of the danger that awaits them!

Jem’s Wild Winter: Goldtown Beginnings, Book 6 (Susan K. Marlow)
$6.50Winter in Goldtown, California, is rarely harsh. But this year snow covers the whole area. No one can get out to pan for gold in the icy creek for weeks on end. Then the weather turns warmer and flooding threatens to wash away the town’s tents–including the Coulters’ tent!
There’s never been a winter like this in all Jem’s eight years. After the flooding, a new storm dumps two feet of snow on Goldtown, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to melt any time soon. That means all the wild critters are coming down to the low country looking for food to stay alive. It isn’t all bad, though–animals mean Pa can put out a trapline to make some money for the family.
Jem goes along to help with the traps. But a sudden storm leaves them both stranded in the wilderness. What if they can’t make it out of the mountains and back home in time?
