The year is
1897. Twelve-year-old Marianne
and her fourteen-year-old brother
Thomas find themselves alone in
Seattle at the beginning of the
great Klondike Gold Rush. With
some food from the family grocery
store, but little money and no
wilderness experience, the bold
pair head for the Yukon, determined
to find their father who is prospecting
there.
Write/illustrator
Teri Sloat and Yupik elder Betty Huffmon
met in the Alaska bush, where both were
teachers. Their collaberation on this
award-winning children's book helped
preserve an old favorite from the culture's
rich store of teaching tales.
