Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. teen/adult fiction (coming of age, historical Alaska 1959-1970) I would classify this as more of an adult story than teen--the narrators are teenagers, but there's little to do with school or the usual angsty topics like boyfriends and more to do with living in, or escaping, homes with varying levels of stability. Though the cliff-hanger of Sam's falling off the ferry is left dangling for SEVERAL CHAPTERS before the story winds back over to his rescue, all the characters' threads weave together nicely and all ends happily, with the teens all finding stable homes, new friends, and happy endings. Parental notes: I don't remember any swearing, but one teen gets pregnant (by a boy who turns out to be a jerk) and is sent away to have her baby at a convent (the adoptive family seems nice and reminds the teen of the family she used to have before her dad died in a plane crash and her mom was sent away for mental health reasons). There is kissing but nothing explicit and an abusive father who molests one of the teens (but not explicitly). sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Growing up in Alaska in the 1970s isn't like growing up anywhere else: Don't think life is going to be easy. Know your place. And never talk about yourself. Four vivid voices tell intertwining stories of hardship, tragedy, wild luck, and salvation"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I really like reading about Alaska and a time around when I was born. I love reading about Indigenous people and their experiences. This was a good book to read if you're a historical fiction reader. The only issue I had was trying to keep everyone straight since it was a slow paced book. ( )
