      About This Book

      Struggling with the changes in his family and unhappy about a looming vacation, Tomi is an angry, awkward 13-year-old boy — a boy who suddenly finds himself in Juneau, Alaska, in 1939, befriended by Patsy Ann, the city's mysterious dog! The world is on the brink of war, and Tomi's Japanese name and features draw the attention of Avery Nichols, an ambitious FBI agent. Tomi's mechanical skills and an encounter with a priceless but broken golden puppet may jumpstart his journey home — if, that is, he can elude Agent Nichols for long enough. The Golden Boy's combination of adventure, fantasy, and historical fiction is perfect for reluctant readers.
