Eight-year-old Sam Peterson from Seldovia, Alaska, doesn't go looking for trouble, but he always seems to find it! This volume collects all four of Seldovia's Sam's exploits, from digging up clams and rescuing sea otters to encountering wildfires and meeting bears. Illustrations.

For years Susan Woodward Springer lived in Alaska and operated a mercantile in tiny Seldovia, a town that's accessible only by boat or plane. Yet for its little-known location, Seldovia has inspired four books of her children's book series The Misadventures of Seldovia Sam. An author, artist, and historian, Susan now lives in Idaho.
