Alaska by Frank Lauria

Alaska a story about two kids on the path to saving their dad from a plane crash on devils thumb

The book Alaska is a Novel written by Frank Lauria but based on the movie Alaska yes you read that right the book is based on a motion picture movie.

Alaska is all about two kids that moved with there dad from Chicago where he was a Boeing 747 pilot to a small town in  Alaska to be a bush pilot. The daughter (Jessie) has a great time in the new surroundings but her brother (Sean) can’t really settle in this new  surrounding.

But then one day in bad weather the plane from there dad disappears in a storm. After a search and rescue didn’t find anything the authorities give up on the search. And you guessed it already the kids go on there search for there dad.

All in all a nice story that would offer some nice twists but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to hold the same excitement as the movie did for me. Maybe the kids would like a book like this and find out what happens to the Polar Bear (see picture)

I would say if you liked the movie then stay away from  the book but if you didn’t see the movie then why no read it and then see the movie ;)
