The Yellow Handkerchief

Jack London

On a foggy night on San Francisco Bay, a sixteen-year-old fish-patrol boy collides with a Chinese fishing junk led by the man with the yellow handkerchief. Taken prisoner and left bound on a muddy island, he fights alone to survive the cold and the dark.

Age rating: Ages 12 and up. Content notes: A nineteenth-century story with danger, a struggle, a pursuit and bitter cold, no gore.
