Reseñas de la Crítica

"Hauntingly beautiful... Anyone who loves great, human stories, true life adventure, Alaska, or social commentary of life in the early 1900s will love this book." ( The Joy of Booking)

Next best thing to visiting Alaska in person!

Would you consider the audio edition of Tisha to be better than the print version?

Enjoyed listening to the audio version while I was painting! Really made the time fly by!

Any additional comments?

The narrator did an excellent job portraying all of the different characters. Especially the young children of various ethnicities.

Beautiful story!

Beautiful story of how one girl can make a meaningful difference in the Alaskan wilderness 🩵

Anne of Chicken Alaska

This reminded me of Anne of Green Gables but the Alaska version. I was riveted and routing for Anne, Chuck, lil’ Ethel, and Fred. Inspiring story of grit on the last frontier. An insightful look at racism in Alaska in the 1920’s.

Epic Timeless Book

I wish they would make a movie out of this story it is such an incredible story!

Alaskan history in story form was nice

The story kept me listening because the people were interesting. It was a bit old fashioned but I’d was written from a 1930’s story.
