(2) 4-6 When the Johnson family takes advantage of President Roosevelt's program to send homesteaders to Alaska, the whole family--particularly oldest daughter Terpsichore--works hard to get their settlement up and going. Dagg evokes the pioneering spirit of Wilder's Little House books in a Depression-era setting; with a gently episodic shape, the plot touches frequently enough on the book's overarching elements to keep the momentum humming.
