Eleven year old Rigel Harman loves her life in the Alaskan wilderness. But when her parents divorce, she and her sisters have to move with their mother to the Connecticut suburbs. Rigel is upset but clings to the secret pact she made with her father: if she can stick it out in Connecticut for a year, he' ll bring her back home to Alaska. Unfortunately, this challenge isn' t easy, especially with the ups and downs of middle school life. Rigel' s loneliness finally lessens when she forges an unlikely friendship with a crow who needs her help. But when that friendship is threatened, Rigel realizes that she may need to let go of her old life and make her own place in the world-even if, for the time being, that place is in Connecticut.
"Rigel herself--homesick for her old life, uncertain (and ambivalent) about how to navigate this new one--is sure to resonate with young, housebound readers. A likable, timely debut. " -- "Kirkus Reviews" "Cathy Carr' s debut is a poignant novel about family and truth, particularly the uncomfortable truths between fathers and daughters, told in a voice full of insight, love, and humor. She' s an author to watch, full of wisdom and exquisite heart. "-- "Carrie Jones, NYT bestselling author of the Need and Time Stoppers series" "Readers will want to travel alongside Rigel as she struggles to survive the halls of middle school as well as she did the Alaskan bush. 365 Days to Alaska is a wonderful debut novel about compassion, belonging, and finding your way home when you feel lost in the wilderness. "-- "Lynne Kelly, author of Song for a Whale" "Rigel Harman isn' t just any outsider--she' s an Alaskan Bush outsider. Carr' s empathic and outstanding debut novel will move readers of all ages, creating internal acceptance not only for Rigel but also for ourselves. "-- "Bethany Hegedus, author of Grandfather Gandhi" "Rigel' s big heart made my own heart ache. Afunny and poignant fish-out-of-water tale with all the right feels and an important reflection on how we can all find our way home. "-- "John David Anderson, author of Ms. Bixby' s Last Day" "Rigel' s suspenseful journey toward finding a home for her brave and wild heart is one that will help us all discover the beauty and uniqueness of where we are. "-- "Francisco X. Stork, author of Marcelo in the Real World"
