Prickly Rose is tired of being left behind when her legendary big sister, Sitka, goes off on yet another adventure. Determined to follow in Sitka’s huge footsteps, Prickly sets off—with tumultuous results. As she tromps across Alaska, Prickly fires up a volcano, gives the earth a mighty shake, and whips up a tsunami. Even little sisters can have a big impact in this original Alaskan tall tale.
Shelley Gill is the author of many books, including Alaska, Hawaii, Sitka Rose, and Big Blue. She lives in Homer, Alaska. View titles by Shelley Gill
Legend says the Rose girls towered ten feet tall. Truth is, Sitka did so; Prickly, not at all. When Sitka called her "squirt," not being a girl to whine, Prickly simply bristled like a porcupine.
