(3) 1-3 Stepping Stone series. Illustrated by Richard Waldrep. Klondy (named for the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897) and her mother move from South Dakota to Alaska, where Klondy's miner father works at a gold mining camp. While Klondy is modeled on a real girl, the character's loneliness--for playmates, for her workaholic father's attention--feels universal. The book is illustrated with emotion-infused art with a regrettably airbrushed look.
