It's the summer of 1859 and fifteen-year-old Charlee LeBeau has to get out of San Francisco. Pursued by two vengeful minors who'd gambled away their gold shares in a card game with her no-good Uncle Jack, a secret connection to the seafaring Underground Railroad is her only chance of escape. Posing as a boy, Charlee talks her way onto the crew of the Salish Wind, a merchant schooner bound for a gold rush port on the west coast of British Columbia. But this bold act sets her on a turbulent course from which there is no turning back. Her stormy Pacific journey leads to a dangerous frontier town, and a terrifying encounter with ruthless, treasure-hunting pirates on the unforgiving local waters. Charlee must draw upon her resourcefulness and courage to pass the ultimate test--survival. Will her wits and determination prevail? Will she discover riches greater than gold? Charlee LeBeau & The Salish Wind is a gripping tale of adventure, betrayal and self-discovery. Follow Charlee as she sails north to the British colony town of Victoria and braves the rugged wilderness of a desolate lighthouse island in the Salish Sea. This second book by C.V. Gauthier, filled with fascinating characters, spectacular settings and heart-pounding adventures, continues the tale that began with Charlee LeBeau & the Gambler's Promise.
