This revised edition of You Can't Wallpaper My Igloo takes you on an uncommon voyage to the farthest reaches of the Alaskan wilderness. When a young, newly married couple say good-bye to the "lower forty-eight" in order to accept teaching positions in the unknowns of the forty-ninth state, they never imagined the challenges they would face on the "Last Frontier." Thanks to healthy senses of humor, temperatures of 70 below freezing, balky (or no) plumbing, culture shock, and classes full of restless kids who have their own ideas about education, the young teachers remain undaunted, ready for any adversity. With her husband providing the punchline for many embarrassing situations, the author ensures that the reader is likely to laugh all the way through this entertaining and informative account of a unique and vanishing way of life. If you enjoy books on Alaska and the wilderness, be sure to read FOOL'S GOLD and BIRTHPLACE OF THE WINDS. Both are historical novels that tell of true events and personalities combining them with engaging and adventurous fictional characters to keep you thoroughly interested. This author has also written a Cozy Mystery series: Annie Cooke's Mysteries, Assisted Murder, Murder Goes A-Hunting, Murder Goes to Auction, and Murder On Little Cat Feet, and a short story collection: A Cry From the Reeds.
