It's 1854, and the Ballarat goldfields are a place of dreams and rebellion as Sam, a homeless teenager, is called back to the past to join the Puddlehams, who run 'the best little cook shop on the diggings'. The Puddlehams dream of buying a hotel with velvet seats, while others dream of freedom from the British crown, away from the rule of wealthy landowners and corrupt officials. Once again, Jackie French takes a fresh look at the history we thought we knew and recreates an event entrenched in our national heritage.

This book is a great read. It is fiction, loosely based on history - enough for me (an adult) to gain more understanding about the Eureka Stockade. The characters were realistic for the period it is written. There a few life lessons that Sam learned along the way, and the extra info in the back is an added bonus.
