Terpsichore canâ€™t wait to follow in Laura Ingalls Wilderâ€™s footsteps . . . now she just has to convince her mom. Itâ€™s 1934, and times are tough for their family. To make a fresh start, Terpsichoreâ€™s father signs up for President Rooseveltâ€™s Palmer Colony project, uprooting them from Wisconsin to become pioneers in Alaska. Their new home is a bit of a shockâ€”itâ€™s a town still under construction in the middle of the wilderness, where the residents live in tents and share a community outhouse. But Terpsichoreâ€™s not about to let first impressions get in the way of this grand adventure. Tackling its many unique challenges with her can-do attitude, she starts making things happen to make Alaska seem more like home. Soon, she and her family are able to start settling in and enjoying their new surroundingsâ€”everyone except her mother, that is. So, in order to stay, Terpsichore hatches a plan to convince her that itâ€™s a wonderfulâ€”and civilizedâ€”place to live . . . a plan thatâ€™s going to take all the love, energy, andÂ Farmer BoyÂ expertise Terpsichore can muster.
