Description
Follow the delightful story of four young children who get caught up in an unexpected adventure in the Alaskan wilderness.
Written in the passive voice of most children's books, Ms. Wallace's narrative occurs within the active imaginations of the children, themselves. One remembers and can easily understand the child's needs to create an exotic, yet more accessible, overlay. I certainly do. Sure, she may be the grandmother you see on holidays and special occasions, but life becomes infinitely more interesting when she transforms into the "Crazy, Old Woman of the Woods". Likewise, the tasty purple potatoes in grandma's garden assume a new dimension of mystery as troll eggs.
This, then, is the area I feel the writer has achieved something of significance. Creating the fantasy world of the children (whimsically illustrated by Brian Collins) while explaining that world through metaphor. Ms. Wallace allows us to reconnect with our own childhood in the most subtle of ways. In this, her debut effort, the writer succeeds and we are the ones who are rewarded. - J.C. Campione
