Set in the 1880s, Valentine Harper heads West to the Colorado Silver Rush to find her father in this fast-paced adventure!
Valentine Harper’s father has been in Colorado for more than a year seeking his fortune in the Silver Rush. But she’s tired of waiting for his overdue return. Aunt Margaret is nice, but Uncle Franklin seems unhappy to have an extra person in the house and Cousin Harold’s pranks have been getting meaner. Unfortunately, a girl can’t get far on her own in America in 1885. But with a haircut, the right clothes, and a big dose of courage, Vallie Harper just might make it on a journey across the country to look for her father, and pull off an adventure that will change her life.

A girl's adventures during the silver rush.Review date: 2000-07-18 Rating: 10 out of 10Ever since her father headed west to mine for silver in Colorado, motherless twelve-year-old Valentine "Vallie" Harper has lived with her relatives in Pennsylvania. Her aunt is sympathetic, but her uncle resents her and her cousin plays mean pranks on her. Disguising herself as a boy and taking the money her father left for her, Vallie sets out for Colorado with the intention of finding her father. But many obstacles stand in her way, and it will take all her courage and determination to complete the journey and begin the long search for her father. I highly reccomend this novel to fans of historical fiction.
