Illustrated by
Richard Waldrep.
Klondy (named for the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897) and her mother move from South Dakota to Alaska, where Klondy's miner father works at a gold mining camp. While Klondy is modeled on a real girl, the character's loneliness--for playmates, for her workaholic father's attention--feels universal. The book is illustrated with emotion-infused art with a regrettably airbrushed look.
