Age Range: Young Adult
Revolver begins with Sig's father dying on the ice near their home. This novel is set back in 1910, but flashes back to 10 years earlier--1899 in Nome. Shortly after Sig's father dies, a stranger from his past finds the family cabin. Sig's father and the man, Wolff, had a deal from ten years ago. Sig's father was supposed to hide gold away from his job and give part of it to Wolff. All of a sudden, Sig's family disappears and Wolff can not find them. Wolff spends the next ten years of his life tracking down Sig's family. The flashes back to 1899 describe the gold that people are so desperately trying to find and the relationship between Sig's family and Wolff. The book also centers around the revolver that is hidden in the family that was a gift from Sig's father to him. Wolff demands that Sig tell him where his father has hidden the gold that he stole from him. Sig's family has survived over the years in poverty and Sig knows nothing about the gold. Throughout the book Sig contemplates if he can get to the revolver and use it on Wolff. I enjoyed the twist at the end of the book. The book also makes you wonder if there really ever was any gold. The ending, years later, is perfect and reveals the answers about the gold.
