I liked the adventure in setting out to the island, the descriptions of the author which brought the terrain to life in my mind, the characters including the notable chief and the individuals not giving up but looked for what food they could find, prepare and consume for everyone.
I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would. A story of a family from the continental US going to Alaska in the early 1900's or late 1800's and all of the people and adventures they encounter. I really liked Willoughby's writing and found if a very easy read. The family's adventures may seem a little far fetched, but make for a great story!
