From the Publisher

ALASKA

Jessie and her brother, Sean, lived in Chicago-until their father became a bush pilot on the Alaskan frontier. Then their father's plane hit a killer storm and vanished in the icy mountains. Everyone knew there was no hope-except Sean and Jessie. Alone, they set out on an impossible mission to rescue their father...and with the help of an orphan polar bear cub challenged the wildest peaks on earth.

3.0 out of 5 stars The book is good., June 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: ALASKA (Paperback)
I've read better, but it had some action in it. I would make the book longer and more excyting. I really like adventure, but this book didn't havemuch of it. I rated this book with a 3. I don't like killing animals. The author could have changed the beginning when the mother bear gets shot. They could have trapped her for the zoo or something. My favorate part of the book is when they find their father and the plane is about to fall, because it is excyting. I also like the setting, because the mountains are cool. I'm glad the author chose to write about a plane crash instesd of a car crash or something. A plane crash is mare excyting andit would interest more readers. If you like adventure stories this is the one for you.
