Bo at Ballard Creek by Kirkpatrick Hill and illustrated by LeUyen Pham Henry Holt and Co. (BYR); First edition Ebook edition (June 18, 2013) Pages CM
This book captivates a historical relevant place in Alaskan History. Transforming the modern reader back in time to a place where the Alaska Native People still lived in Sod homes and log cabins and the big hunt for gold was happening. The main characters are BO and her best friend Oscar and her two Fathers Arvid and Jack who raised her from a few weeks old. The fathers fell victim to the love and affection of a baby that was supposed to be put in an orphanage. This enduring tail describes the life as a child growing up in what would be a dyeing mining town. Learning both Alaskan Native language and English you will experience her adventures through her eyes as it seems to be told from a 3rd person perspective. With many daring twists and turns, from finding a lost boy to an encounter with the Bear and many other thrills of a five-year-old out exploring the vast world of Ballard Creek.
