A great family book

If I weren't fortunate enough to live next to one of the children in this story, who is now a middle aged adult, I would never have known about it. Simple curiosity had me order it (it is out of print, of course). I started it and couldn't wait to turn the pages - it is terrific. A family in a converted bus going from East coast to Alaska, and the stops along the way!! If you have children who enjoy having stories read, or are old enough to begin reading for themselves, this should be a MUST READ! I haven't been fortunate enough to meet the writer, but she is due thanks from every one who can read her book.

Charming true story of an adventurous family.

With grace and humor, Sally Lesh deftly describes the true tale of a n east coast family who gives it all up to pursue authentic, frontier living in the wilds of Alaska. The author reflects with sharp wit on the joys and tribulations of traveling across country with 8 children in a school bus -- never giving up her 5:00 cocktail -- in pursuit of their dream of starting a new life in Alaska.
