Illustrated by
LeUyen Pham.
Bo (Bo at Ballard Creek), her two papas, and her brother leave their small Alaskan mining camp for a bigger settlement. Bo learns to read, makes friends, learns about prejudice, and acquires another adopted brother. With robust spot art and light but effective plotting, this book has all the virtues of the first: humor, good nature, and colorful characters and situations.
