BOOK: Alice Rose & Sam - Lasky

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Lasky, Kathryn._Alice Rose & Sam_,1997
This book is what historical fiction is about.  Alice Rose lives in
Virginia City, Nevada during the height of the silver mining.  Her
father runs the local newspaper and Sam (Clemens) shows up to
work there.  Alice Rose and Sam team up together and solve a
murder in town.  Mark Twain's actual words from his writings are
smoothly integrated in his conversation in the book -- but not
overdone.  If you are familiar with his writings, you will notice and
appreciate it.  There is a historical note at the end explaining all the
actual history that is in this 252 page book.  It is an enjoyable read
and not as ponderous as her _Bone Wars._
