The Starr Hill Gang

Time travel is real! Just open this book and read. You'll be transported back to 1950's Alaska led by a master storyteller and guide. Little Johnny tells it like it is for a young boy growing up in Alaska way back in the day. Things were different back then. People? Not so much. We all know the Starr Hill Gang. They have different names in our lives, but they're all around us. Little Johnny points them out just by telling us about his friends. When you return, the world will be different. Little Johnny reminds us what it's like seeing the world for the first time...again.

I Survived the Star Hill Gang is a beautiful book: heartfelt, compelling, funny, full of suspense, and mostly, love. The dialogue is superb. John Bertholl writes and thinks like a little boy growing up in the wilds of Alaska. Well, Juneau anyway. I loved every minute I spent reading this book. The story is funny and satisfyingly surprising."
