SWEET HOME ALASKA

SWEET HOME ALASKA by Carole Estby Dagg

Sweet Home Alaska by Carole Estby Dagg is a wonderful story about a family that has a 9 year old girl named Terpsichore, her younger twin sisters named Cally and Polly, and a little brother named Matthew. Their father wants to move to Alaska to make a new start but their mom's not so sure. Terpsichore doesn't mind the idea so much as long as she and her best friend are able to move to Alaska at the same time.

Terpsichore and her family make the move to Alaska, but her mom agrees to give it one and a half years and then she will decide if the family will stay or not. Terpsichore and her sisters want to stay. Before they left, to head to Alaska, Terpsichore's mother had to sell her beloved piano. Now, Terpsichore's teacher is going to sell her piano for 75 dollars. Terpsichore wants to buy it before her mother makes her final decision and just maybe change her mother's mind, but will it be enough?
