Welcome to the circulating blog tour and giveaway for The Searchers series of middle grade historical fiction by Bertha Schwartz, hosted by JustRead tours!



ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Sarah's Search for Treasure (Searchers #3)
Author: Bertha Schwartz
Publisher: Ambassador International
Release Date: December 1, 2018
Genre: Middle Grade Historical Fiction
It’s 1849, and when Sarah’s papa and brother strike out for gold, she is stuck at home to help take care of the family and farm. This task quickly turns dangerous as the Gold Rush rises in frenzy around them. Neighbors abandon their livestock and the family must fend off half-started miners ready to steal everything they have. Sarah decides to turn her circumstances into a business—feeding the miners in exchange for gold and labor.
Sarah’s ingenuity and leadership are tested as she faces thieves, mysteries, and violent miners. Trouble closes in on all sides, and Sarah must make tough decisions on her own.
Soon Sarah learns that true treasure is not always gold, and that the greatest adventures can happen without even leaving home.

BOOKS IN THIS SERIES
My thoughts: This was an enjoyable third book to the Searchers series! Bertha gives us a glimpse of what it could of been to live during the gold rush period, something I hadn't given much thought to. Sarah is a solid character who grows as she faces difficult situations. I enjoyed this historical fiction story and recommend it for middle school on up!
I received this book from Just Read Tours. This is my honest review and is in no way influenced by receiving a complimentary copy.
