It?s the spring of 1851 and San Francisco is booming. Twelve-year-old Amelia Forrester has just arrived with her family and they are eager to make a new life in Phoenix City. But the mostly male town is not that hospitable to females and Amelia decides she?ll earn more money as a boy. Cutting her hair and donning a cap, she joins a gang of newsboys, selling Eastern newspapers for a fortune. And that?s just the beginning of her adventures. Participating in the biggest news stories of the day, Amelia is not a girl to let life pass her by?even and especially when it involves danger!
Liza Ketchum is the author of many award-winning historical novels. She lives near Boston, Massachusetts.
