Revolver by Marcus Sedgwick
A LOADED GUN. STOLEN GOLD. And a menacing stranger. A taut frontier survivor story, set at the time of the Alaska gold rush.
In an isolated cabin, fourteen-year-old Sig is alone with a corpse: his father, who has fallen through the ice and frozen to death only hours earlier. Then comes a stranger claiming that Sig's father owes him a share of a horde of stolen gold. Sig's only protection is a loaded Colt revolver hidden in the cabin's storeroom. The question is, will Sig use the gun, and why?
Revolver is a 2011 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
Marcus Sedgwick, author of Midwinterblood, White Crow, and the Printz Honor-winning Revolver, has experienced a wonderful coincidence. Over the years, the author has experienced several strange events, some of which have made their way into She Is Not Invisible, as well as a lifelong preoccupation with the number 354, which has 'haunted' him. The number 354 can be discovered lurking 'between the lines' of the novel in many ways as a method to eventually release himself from this obsession.
