In I Am The Ice Worm Allison Atwood has left her father's comfortable condo in California to visit her mother in Alaska. Allison hold hope in her heart that her mother will return with her to California and reunite with Allison's father so that they can be a whole happy family again. Allison is used to a life of ease, well provided by her father, and lots of care and support provided by her mother. Divorce has left her feeling very left out.
On the last leg of Allison's journey to the village in the Artic where her mother teaches, her plane crashes and the pilot is killed. What will happen now? Can this warm-blooded city girl survive. This is no Hatchet; an Inupiat hunter finds the wreckage and takes her home with him. Allison feels rescued but her journey to her mother has just begun. Through interactions with the Inupiat people and observation Allison learns about what people really need. She sees firsthand the changes, positive and negative, that the outside world has brought to this isolated group of people.
