One girl yearning to prove herself. Another desperate to escape pain. A dog trying to save them both.
Penny Brighton despises being treated like a baby. Now that Papa is sending her to Alaska to stay with her uncle during the waning days of the Great Depression, she's thrilled by the chance to prove she's strong and capable. But her excitement turns to dread when she reaches Juneau and there's no one to meet her.
Refusing to panic, she follows a deaf bull terrier to a boarding house and agrees to wash dishes in exchange for room and board while searching for her uncle. But when she meets Bitty, a young girl who's being forced to undergo painful medical treatments for a mysterious illness, Penny's determined to help. Then Bitty disappears during a blizzard and only Penny knows where she is.
Will she swallow her pride and accept help in order to save her friend, or will her unrelenting urge to play the hero cause her to risk Bitty's life?
Three against the North is an engrossing historical fiction middle grade story. If you like fast paced adventure, courageous characters and dogs, you'll love Dianna Dorisi Winget's inspirational tale.
