Through a fourth-grader's eyes we see a world that is small and complete: cottages clinging to the hillside, the rope-tow ski hill just beyond the last row of houses, the Rec Hall with its movies, bowling lanes, and square dances, and the mine whose twenty-year life quietly defines the horizon of the adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story moves through a season of small adventures-school days, Cub Scouts, hikes, snowstorms, the first experiments with courage and fear-while in the background parents navigate work, money, and the question of what comes after the ore runs out. It's a book about a particular place and time, but also about how a child learns to read a community's seams and fault lines, and carries that little mountainside world forward for the rest of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ada Turing,Micheal Keith Nelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798278011231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Ada Turing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50664863236351,"sku":"9798278011231","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/among-washingtons-alps-ada-turing-9798278011231","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
