5.0 out of 5 starsFun Mystery Thriller!
By Shiela on October 25, 2004
Format: Hardcover
Mystery at Chilkoot Pass is one of the best children's chapter books I have read to-date. I was helping my 9 year old sister with her book report and she and I both thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. It is witty, fun, adventurous, and a page-turner. This book is thorough, yet it doesn't wear you down with boring details. I would recommend this book not only to any third/fourth/fifth grader, but any adult who enjoys a good, fun mystery.

4.0 out of 5 starsDon't Pass This One By
By AntiochAndy on April 10, 2003
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
MYSTERY AT CHILKOOT PASS is the 17th book in the "History Mystery" series. It is autumn, 1897, and twelve-year-old Hetty, her friend Alma, their parents, and Hetty's Uncle Donall have left their homes in San Francisco to seek gold in the Klondike gold rush. They must get themselves and three tons of supplies and equipment up and over Chilkoot Pass before winter sets in. Thousands of other goldhunters are making the same trek. The story follows their struggle from the time they leave their ship near the coastal town of Dyea until they ascend the Pass. Along the way, large amounts of cash and small personal items of little value disappear. Hetty suspects her uncle might be a thief. Thieves are dealt with harshly in this frontier environment. Hetty proves to be a person of strength and resolution. She works hard and does what she has to in the face of hardship and death.
MYSTERY AT CHILKOOT PASS is a worthy addition to the "History Mystery" series. It will make you appreciate the hardships people were prepared to endure in the pursuit of fortune. It may also make you wonder what could have possessed people to leave their homes and put themselves through such hardships on the slim chance that they might find enough gold to make themselves rich. A nice introduction to an interesting bit of history.

A Kid's Review on October 11, 2005
Format: Paperback
This book is mostly about Hetty and they take a trip to a place called Chilkoot pass they cause an avalanche and they have to try to dig the person out of all the snow.The main thing that happens in the book is that mostly everybody loses something they really care about one morning Hetty wakes up and she has lost her locket. Hetty has a diary where she keeps track of all the things that are stolen and what happens to the person.At the end of the book well close they find the person who has to tell them why he or she stole the stuff they also find the bag of stolen stuff.Then also at the end Alma Hettys best friend gets married to Uncle Donall.But at the end they all leave very happily.I would recommend this book to anybody who loves to solve mysterys and enjoys a happy book and to anybody in third/fourth and fifth.

5.0 out of 5 starsWhat will Hetty learn on her trip to the top of the world?
By KidsReads on July 12, 2004
Format: Paperback
In 1897, when Hetty and her friend Alma are 12 years old, prospectors come down from Alaska Territory to San Francisco shouting, "Gold!" The prospectors tell everyone the nuggets are so big they're the size of potatoes. After that, it seems like half the country heads north to the Yukon to find some of those golden potatoes for themselves. Hetty, her father, Alma, her mother, and Hetty's Uncle Donall join the crowd heading north to the gold fields.
The trip north is gruesome. When their steamer first arrives at Dyea, the sailors dump people's belongings into a scow headed for the shore about a mile away. Some of their possessions land in the water instead of in the boat, but the sailors don't seem to care. Some of the passengers have to turn around and head home again because all their possessions are lost at sea. Horses, goats, dogs, and other animals have to swim for their lives in the icy waters.
To reach gold country, which stretched ahead of them for 500 miles, everybody has to move part of their things forward, leave somebody there to guard them, and then go back for more. Trip after trip after trip. It's only September, but up by the Arctic Circle winter comes early and it's bitter cold. Some people discover that they packed too much and have to leave trunks and other belongings alongside the trail. Other people decide to pay haulers to cart their things for them, only to have the haulers take the money and run.
Then Hetty discovers her locket missing. It has her only picture of her dead mother in it. Hetty laid it beside her bed in the tent at night, and the next morning it's gone. Someone else misses a knife. Alma's mother loses half her money. Who is the thief? Is there more than one? Can Hetty find him? Or is it a woman?Read more ›
