  <description><![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Grubstake is a grubby down-on-its-luck mining town filled with grubby down-on-their-luck miners. So when a decidedly nongrubby city slicker shows up and offers to buy the tapped-out mines, the miners are sorely tempted. But not Arley, the brash sixteen-year-old girl who runs the boardinghouse. No, Arley smells a rat. What could some fancy-britches rascal want with empty mines? Is there more in those desolate pits than the Grubs realize? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;            &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Like Jean Ferris&#8217;s popular <em>Once Upon a Marigold,</em> this lighthearted, endearingly goofy story is packed with quirky, lovable characters and piercing insights.<br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Grubstake is a grubby down-on-its-luck mining town filled with grubby down-on-their-luck miners. So when a decidedly nongrubby city slicker shows up and offers to buy the tapped-out mines, the miners are sorely tempted. But not Arley, the brash sixteen-year-old girl who runs the boardinghouse. No, Arley smells a rat. What could some fancy-britches rascal want with empty mines? Is there more in those desolate pits than the Grubs realize? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;            &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Like Jean Ferris&#8217;s popular <em>Once Upon a Marigold,</em> this lighthearted, endearingly goofy story is packed with quirky, lovable characters and piercing insights.<br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Grubstake is a grubby down-on-its-luck mining town filled with grubby down-on-their-luck miners. So when a decidedly nongrubby city slicker shows up and offers to buy the tapped-out mines, the miners are sorely tempted. But not Arley, the brash sixteen-year-old girl who runs the boardinghouse. No, Arley smells a rat. What could some fancy-britches rascal want with empty mines? Is there more in those desolate pits than the Grubs realize? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;            &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Like Jean Ferris&#8217;s popular <em>Once Upon a Marigold,</em> this lighthearted, endearingly goofy story is packed with quirky, lovable characters and piercing insights.<br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>
