Book Description
Cathy Carr’s 365 Days to Alaska is a charming debut middle-grade novel about a girl from off-the-grid Alaska adjusting to suburban life. Eleven-year-old Rigel Harman loves her life in off-the-grid Alaska. She hunts rabbits, takes correspondence classes through the mail, and plays dominoes with her family in their two-room cabin. She doesn’t mind not having electricity or running water—instead, she’s got tall trees, fresh streams, and endless sky. But then her parents divorce, and Rigel and her sisters have to move with their mom to the Connecticut suburbs to live with a grandmother they’ve never met. Rigel hates it in Connecticut. It’s noisy, and crowded, and there’s no real nature. Her only hope is a secret pact that she made with her father: If she can stick it out in Connecticut for one year, he’ll bring her back home. At first, surviving the year feels impossible. Middle school is nothing like the wilderness, and she doesn’t connect with anyone . . . until she befriends a crow living behind her school. And if this wild creature has made a life for itself in the suburbs, then, just maybe, Rigel can too. 365 Days to Alaska is a wise and funny debut novel about finding beauty, hope, and connection in the world no matter where you are—even Connecticut. “Rigel’s big heart made my own heart ache. A funny and poignant fish-out-of-water tale with all the right feels and an important reflection on how we can all find our way home.” —John David Anderson, author of Ms. Bixby’s Last Day “Rigel’s suspenseful journey toward finding a home for her brave and wild heart is one that will help us all discover the beauty and uniqueness of where we are.” —Francisco X. Stork, author of Marcelo in the Real World “Readers will want to travel alongside Rigel as she struggles to survive the halls of middle school as well as she did the Alaskan bush. 365 Days to Alaska is a wonderful debut novel about compassion, belonging, and finding your way home when you feel lost in the wilderness.” —Lynne Kelly, author of Song for a Whale “Cathy Carr’s debut is a poignant novel about family and truth, particularly the uncomfortable truths between fathers and daughters, told in a voice full of insight, love, and humor. She’s an author to watch, full of wisdom and exquisite heart.” —Carrie Jones, NYT bestselling author of the Need and Time Stoppers series “Rigel Harman isn’t just any outsider—she’s an Alaskan Bush outsider. Carr’s empathic and outstanding debut novel will move readers of all ages, creating internal acceptance not only for Rigel but also for ourselves.” —Bethany Hegedus, author of Grandfather Gandhi

Book Description
Connie McFadden Tonsgard Shares a Unique Collection of Creativity Book depicts the versatile facets of the human experience through photographic and poetic art JUNEAU, Alaska (Release Date TBD) Stimulating, creative and groundbreaking, Souvenirs in Alaska is an amalgam of both visual and literary artistry. Written by author Connie McFadden Tonsgard, this book paints a myriad of expressions that seep out of a passionate artist who knows how to appreciate and combine both the images of classic and modern art, merged by a smooth and fluid transition of poetry and literary precision. From the images of the raw bounties of nature, the sun, sea, rainbow, forests and animals, which depict the rawness and exquisite beauty of simplicity, to featuring the more sophisticated and intricate expressions of the human experience such as the pensive, dramatic and provocative profiles of humans, these interpretations are highly suggestive of the versatility of the world. The poems range from the profuse outpouring of sensual longings of passion, which in itself may turn dark, tainted and obscure at times, to the innocent, endearing and child-like expressions of glee and friendship. Souvenirs in Alaska is a fun, colorful and symbolic read that serves as a catalyst for the emergence of deeply seated feelings and creativity. Readers will find fulfillment in linking the photographic interpretations of random sentiments, thoughts and human characteristics articulated by the corresponding poems. From the first to the last page, this book is a joy to those who get the privilege of viewing life through the author's unique perspective.
