Kat is homeless. Her mother is stuck in a coma, and her father is driving across the country to find a job. Kat loves gold. She is obsessed with it, and when she sees a sign for a gold mine tour while she is passing through Durango, CO, she just can't not go. She goes on the tour, but she wanders off and falls into a hole in the mine wall. What she finds below changes her life forever. A large dragon named Yin lies below, guarding his hoard of gold, and Kat happens upon him by luck. He shows her the way out of the cave, but she steals some gold, and word gets out, and soon everyone is trying to get down into that cave.I think this is a good book, even though it is written in a way that makes it seem like it is meant for younger kids. I think that the story is really rich, regardless because it tells a story of the world's greed and it's problems. I think that it is interesting because the story is fast paced but it also has a lot of dialogue and deeper conversations in it, which adds other levels to the book. I also think that the strategies behind every action in the book worked well, because it made everything seem intentional. Overall, while this book is written for younger audiences I think the messages and the story are really good.
