Publisher Description

It's the 1920s, and Bo was headed for an Alaska orphanage when she won the hearts of two tough gold miners who set out to raise her, enthusiastically helped by all the kind people of the nearby Eskimo village.

Bo learns Eskimo along with English, helps in the cookshack, learns to polka, and rides along with Big Annie and her dog team. There's always some kind of excitement: Bo sees her first airplane, has a run-in with a bear, and meets a mysterious lost little boy.
Bo at Ballard Creek by Kirkpatrick Hill is an unforgettable story of a little girl growing up in the exhilarating time after the big Alaska gold rushes.

“This is a sweet little story with cute illustrations. You love all the characters and can feel their excitement for all the little day to day events.”
“Like Little House set in an Alaskan mining town. Frank, accurate, wholesome, and lovely. Wonderfully illustrated. I enjoyed it and would recommend it for kids 8-10ish. I liked the found family storyline as well.”
