"Life in 1948 in Providence, Rhode Island, isn't terribly exciting for a girl like Victoria Barred from going to school and focused to borrow books secretly from the library, Tory longs to live a life as adventurous and independent as that of her heroine, Jane Eyre. Then Tory's father loses his job and becomes so desperate to restore his family fortunes that he decided to seek a share of the newly discovered gold in California. Tory, eager to seize control of her own destiny, stows away on the west-bound ship carrying her father and younger brother, Jacob. Though San Francisco is mud-caked, frenzied, and full of wild and dangerous men, Tory quickly finds friendship and independence until her father leaves for the gold fields and the care of Jacob falls to her. But then Jacob vanishes, kidnapped, perhaps hidden among abandoned in the bay, If he is there, Tory must find him in a treacherous search. With spot-on historical details and riveting suspense, Avi spins Tory's tale as she comes dangerously close to losing everything in her quest for her own and her brother's freedom."--Container
