Whispering Alaska Book

Whispering Alaska by Brendan Jones

Join twins Nicky and Josie as they move with their father from Pennsylvania to a remote Alaskan hamlet in search of a fresh start after the loss of their mother. With the coastal forests and rugged wilderness as their new backdrop, the girls navigate grief, family dynamics, and a community caught in a heated debate: save the ancient trees—or protect the logging jobs that sustain their new neighbors.

In this middle-grade novel, the land itself plays a powerful role, whispering secrets and calling on the young to act. Themes of activism, belonging, and healing blend with vivid Alaskan scenery to deliver a story that’s equal parts adventure and heart.
