Minuk: Ashes in the Pathway

(1) 4-6 Girls of Many Lands series. Twelve-year-old Minuk, a Yup'ik girl living in 1890 Alaska, is eager to learn about the Hoffs, a family of Christian missionaries, and the wider world they represent. While Minuk struggles to understand their faith and ponders the lower status of women in both cultures, the plot consists mainly of events in the daily life of the village. This story, and the skillful manner in which it is told, should knock the socks off habitual readers of series historical fiction. Glos.
