An idyllic Yukon River trip turns into a mysterious adventure as the kids discover a gold rush ghost town that seems to have a ghost! Putting to work the sleuthing skills that foxed Alaskan bandit Soapy Smith in their first adventure, your favorite Yukon kids soon learn there is more afoot at Canyon City than just a few eerie noises in the night. Why is Sourdough oldtimer Hard Luck Henry obsessed with the Lucky Eight gold nugget? What happened to the nugget and the miner that found it? And why does little sister Papillon seem to know so much? With each clue, a mysterious force pulls the kids closer to the dangerous waters gushing through Miles Canyon and the dreaded Devil's Punchbowl. Will the Yukon kids solve the mystery before whatever happened to Lucky Eight happens to them? * * * * * Praise for Aurore of the Yukon and Yukon Secret Agents "A wild ride equal parts historical fact and pure entertainment."
