Its time for Bo and her Papas to move from the familiar
Ballard Creek to a new situation at the dredging mine at Iditarod Creek – more
isolated, new faces and a much smaller community. But Bo is always up for meeting new people,
looking out for new friends and helping anyone who crosses her path. From convincing many others to join her in
her mail-order school lessons and her worry about a boy who rarely shows his
face, Bo has plenty of things to make her new life interesting.
Hill looks at life in the Alaskan wilderness in a unique,
interesting way. Some of the subject
matter is a little delicate, but the material is rich in detail. If you are going to recommend this or read
this aloud to someone young, read it yourself, first. I hope Bo’s next adventure makes it to the
printed page.
