Customer Reviews

Fascinating Lovely People. I wish I could have done it.

I trecked all the way from Australia up to Alaska and the Arctic Circle and that is where I met Joe and Nancy in Joy Alaska and picked up this Fascinating Book. The book is the like the people, Adventurous, Kind, Interesting and is a lesson to us all about what we can achieve if we dare to take chances and follow our dreams. Having met Joe and Nancy I could not recommend this book enough so sit down in front of the fire and do yourself a favour and immurse yourself in the story of this couragous Family and their adventures and dreams.

Home Sweet Home

I had the good fortune to stop at the Homestead Kids homestead in Joy,Alaska on our tour to the Artic Circle. It is everything Ms.Curtis claims. The book was filled with stories that were humorous and also scary. Many people on the tour bus bought Homestead kid at Ms Curtis's childhood home and most of us were finished reading by the end of the tour. Old and young alike-it was amazing to hear all the response about the book from strangers. I enjoyed the book very much and so did all the other tour bus readers. I must add that it was a hundred and ninety eight mile tour on a dirt road from Fairbanks to the Artic Circle...And it was worth every bump!

Homestead Kid is a terrific book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would definately recommend it to someone that loves stories about homesteading or doing things the "natural way". It amazes me that these people raised as many kids as they did and still managed to find time to have fun as a family.
