The world knows Jack London as a writer who lived his own real-life adventures. But there are some parts of his life that have remained hidden for many years, things even he couldn’t set down in writing. Terrifying, mysterious, bizarre, and magical—these are the Secret Journeys of Jack London.

Jack, age seventeen, journeys far into the Yukon Territory in search of gold and adventure. But what he finds in the wild reaches of the north freezes his blood: kidnapping and slavery, the murderous nature of desperate men, and, amidst it all, supernatural beasts of the wilderness that prey on the weakness in men’s hearts. Jack’s survival will depend on his ability to quell the demons within himself as much as those without.

Industry Reviews

"A masterful mix of gold, cold, supernatural creatures, and dread magic makes this a great action adventure story."--Garth Nix, author of the Abhorsen Trilogy "A great old-school adventure novel and the best use of the Wendigo legend I've ever read."--Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy A masterful mix of gold, cold, supernatural creatures, and dread magic makes this a great action adventure story. --Garth Nix, author of the Abhorsen Trilogy" A great old-school adventure novel and the best use of the Wendigo legend I ve ever read. --Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy" Golden and Lebbon write with a gritty assurance that brings the fantasy elements-most notably, Jack's multiple face-offs with the mythic Wendigo-down to earth. This first chapter kicks the door open for almost anything in book two.--ALA Booklist A rollicking adventure tale for modern-day readers, depicting with great awe the unforgiving, and yet beautiful, conditions Jack confronts. There is enough biographical reality to drive curious readers into sampling the works of the actual London while they eagerly await another chapter. That is a fire worth starting.--Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review)
