Description

You might think that “Golden” is a strange name for a town, but Golden, Colorado is called that for a very good reason.

It started with a boy named Tommy.

All Tommy had was a dream to begin a new life, and his best friend, Blaster the Burro.

Well, that was all he had, until he found something amazing in the creek at the bottom of the foothills.

That creek, and the amazing thing he found, changed his life forever.

What did Tommy find?
How did it change his life?
And why is Golden called Golden?

This is a tale of how dreams can come true, but they do not always come easy. Dreams take time, skill, and often, a great deal of help and teamwork. It teaches young readers that the path to success isn’t always simple, and the path that you think you need to take isn’t necessarily the one that will get you to your destination.

Follow Tommy, Blaster, and their new friends to discover what it takes to build a town like Golden.
