Family/School/Community 365 Days to Alaska
Cathy Carr
Eleven-year-old Rigel lives with her family in Alaska’s bush until her parents decide to divorce. She and her sisters move with their mother to their grandmother’s home in Connecticut, while Rigel’s father asks her to keep his promise private: in a year, she may return to Alaska to live with him. Used to being homeschooled and surrounded by wilderness, Rigel finds the traffic, concrete, school routines, and unfamiliar social expectations disorienting. Behind the school, she secretly begins caring for an injured crow.
