A Ticket to Adventure A Mystery Story for Girls

"A Ticket to Adventure" by Roy J. Snell is an early era mystery about two cousins, Mary and Florence, who find more than they bargain for when they embark on a pioneering journey to Alaska in the late 1930s. What starts off as an exciting prospect in the Matanuska Valley soon turns into an adventure of unpredictable events, starting with Mary's unexpected meeting with an Eskimo man named Mister Il-Ay-Ok and followed by a stranger who seems to dislike him, which causes a spark of curiosity that carries throughout the story. Along with this peculiar incident, the girls face potential revelations about Florence's grandfather, Tom Kennedy, who may still be alive out in the wildernesses of "The Last Frontier". Amidst the hopes and dreams in an unfamiliar land, the girls come to discover the unpredictability of life, and the strength of both family and curiosity.
