Description
In this eco-focused middle-grade novel, readers follow the story of twin sisters who move with their father to a small town in Alaska for a new start after the devastating loss of their mother.Its been four months since their mother died. The twins and their father have moved from Pennsylvania to a small town in Alaska to be near extended family. Nicky and Josie find the wilderness mysterious and beautiful, and a much-needed refuge. The girls drifted apart somewhat during their transition, each dealing with grief in a different way. Now, as they settle into a new normal, they become involved in a community debate that threatens the very land they are growing to love. For the local adults, livelihoods are at stake, and tensions are high. But its the young people who take the lead, especially newcomers Josie and Nicky, who find a way to speak up for what they believe, reconnecting with each other and with their father in the processand, they hope, doing their mother proud. Will their heartfelt plea keep the peace and save the trees that have existed for hundreds of years? Author Brendan Joness passion for Alaska shines through in this, his debut middle-grade novel. Indeed, Brendans day-to-day subsistence lifestyle in his own Alaskan communitya place hes called home for decadesand his appreciation for young activists greatly inspired Whispering Alaska. The rich detail with which he describes the earth''s largest intact temperate rainforest will make readers wonder whether they too can hear the trees whisper. Recipient - 2022 Nature Generation Green Earth Book Award Skillfully combining the newer themes of the pandemic and environmental activism with traditional themes like family, loss, and sibling rivalries, this book is compelling and modern. School Library JournalStrong but not simple conflicts, a vividly rendered natural setting, and smoothly integrated elements of fantasy and realism crank up the intensity of this multi-layered tale.
