Bookroo's summary

Marie-Grace embarks on a thrilling steamboat adventure up the Mississippi with her father. Amidst the bustling passengers, she meets Wilhelmina, a girl her age traveling alone. Wilhelmina harbors a secret—a trunk filled with clues to a hidden Gold Rush treasure. As they unravel the mystery together, they realize they're not the only ones on the hunt. Can they outsmart their rivals and claim the treasure? Dive into a tale of friendship, mystery, and adventure set against the backdrop of the 1850s.

From the publisher

Marie-Grace can’t wait to begin her journey up the Mississippi River with her father. The steamboat they’re traveling on is the biggest and fanciest boat Marie-Grace has ever seen. It’s crowded with all sorts of interesting passengers, including Wilhelmina Newman, a girl her age. Wilhelmina is traveling alone, and she’s carrying a secret in one of her trunks–clues to hidden Gold Rush treasure. Marie-Grace and Wilhelmina have to unravel the clues to find the gold–and they’re not the only ones looking for it! An illustrated “Looking Back” essay provides facts about the 1850s.
