Publisher Description

Virginia City in 1862 is a mining camp sitting above a rich vein of silver in America's Wild West. It's a dangerous place, full of gamblers, hurdy girls and gunmen - all of them on the make!

When twelve year-old P.K. Pinkerton arrives there, homeless, penniless and hunted, things don't look good. But P.K. soon finds allies in Sam Clemens, a newspaper reporter, Poker Face Jace, a gambler who can tell when someone is bluffing, and Ping, a Chinese photographer's apprentice.

With the help of these friends- and armed with a Smith & Wesson seven-shooter and a knack for disguises - P.K. takes on the tricksters and desperados and tries to become a detective.

"Super fun romp that keeps you guessing until the end. This would make a great read aloud because it's action packed, but also has a lot to talk about - past (and present) American Indian stereotypes, opium dens (truly!) and "soiled doves" who spark men. Also, lots of murder and gun play - it's the wild west, after all. I'll thoughtfully recommend this to older tweens."

    " I would have given it 5 stars but for the fact that it is written for young readers and I thought it had a bit more language and some references/situations with "old west prostitutes" that were a bit more than I want my 8 or 10yo reading. Too bad, because the rest of it was fantastic. "
