Terpsichore’s Father has lost his job at the mill and it doesn’t look like things are ever going to improve. The great depression has hit hard in Wisconsin. When Terpsichore’s family gets chosen to go to Alaska to homestead, she is so excited! She loves the Laura Ingalls Wilder books and she wants to live just like Laura did. Mother is not too happy about the move and says she will “vote” on whether to stay after the first harvest.
Terpsichore falls in love with Alaska along with her father and twin sisters. Mother will have to be convinced however, and Terpsichore starts planning to win her over by the end of the local fair.
This is a juvenile book suitable for any reader.
