Bo at Ballard Creek

(1) 4-6 Illustrated by LeUyen Pham. The disarmingly forthright tone is set right at the start of this book when we meet Bo, a little girl who lives with her papas (yes, that's plural) in a small gold-rush town in 1920s Alaska. Like Little House in the Big Woods but with a considerably larger cast (miners, Eskimos, old-timers, good-time girls), small events and crises keep the story involving.
