Bo at Ballard Creek

Author: Kirpatrick Hill

Genre: Realistic Fiction

What this book is about: Bo at Ballard Creek is about a girl who has two fathers: Jack and Arvid. Nothing really exciting ever happens in Ballard Creek. Bo always helps around the house (she is very tidy and picky, like Jack) and making breakfast for the miners. Most years, there wouldn't be many exciting things going on - just the usual mining for gold. But this year, they aren't expecting airplanes, toys, bears, and a lost Indian boy! Want to find out what happens? Read the book!

Your opinion:  It wasn't my favorite book. It didn't have many exciting parts and was sort of boring. It was kind of confusing. Literally - I had to make a note card with the names of the characters, and how to describe them! But it was good for a sit-down-and-read kind of book.

Rating:  3 out of 5 stars

Who would like this book: I think people who like reading about little kids and maybe the Alaskan Gold Rush would like this.
