Bo at Iditarod Creek by Kirkpatrick Hill

Bo at Iditarod Creek by Kirkpatrick Hill

Ever since five-year-old Bo can remember, she and her papas have lived in the little Alaskan mining town of Ballard Creek. Now the family must move upriver to Iditarod Creek for work at a new mine, and Bo is losing the only home she's ever known. Initially homesick, she soon realizes that there is warmth and friendship to be found everywhere . . . and what's more, her new town may hold an unexpected addition to her already unconventional family.

As with Bo at Ballard Creek, this stand-alone sequel from Kirkpatrick Hill is a story about love, inclusion, and day-to-day living in the rugged Alaskan bush of the late 1920s. Full of fascinating details, it is an unforgettable story.

Kirkpatrick Hill is an Alaskan who lives in Fairbanks. She spent more than thirty years as an elementary school teacher, the majority of it in the Alaskan bush. Hill is a grandmother of eight and the mother of six children. Toughboy and Sister, Winter Camp, and The Year of Miss Agnes are three of her best-selling novels. Dancing at the Odinochka, her fourth novel, was chosen by the Junior Library Guild.
