Book 5: The California Gold Rush

The Adventures of Papa Lemon’s Little Wanderers Book 5: The California Gold Rush” is a history lesson via time travel for the Little Wanderers, an adventurous multicultural band of time explorers who have the wonderful guidance of the neighborhood grandparents, Papa Lemon and Mama Sarah. For this adventure, the time dial is set for 1848 and the California Gold Rush, but somehow the group overshoots their date with destiny and lands in 1851. What will happen? Clearly illustrated portraits show that each character has different cultural/racial origins. In addition, the characters of the group are well delineated, including Nikki, the leader, Carlos the protector, Baby Buck the know-it-all, AJ the worrier, Kaya, the diva, and of course Papa Lemon and Mama Sarah, the neighborhood grandparents and moral compasses in time explorations.
