Summary "A Ticket to Adventure" by Roy J. Snell is a mystery story for girls written in the late 1930s. The narrative centers around Mary Hughes and her cousin Florence as they embark on a journey to Alaska, encountering various characters and challenges along the way. The girls hope for an adventurous life as pioneers but soon realize that their journey is not without its dangers and mysteries. The opening of the story introduces Mary Hughes as she arrives in Anchorage, Alaska, where she unexpectedly meets a peculiar little man, Mister Il-ay-ok, who is an Eskimo. The encounter with Il-ay-ok piques Mary’s curiosity, especially when a stranger expresses disdain for him, implying a deeper enmity. After this disconcerting introduction, the narrative unfolds to show the girls' excitement for pioneering life in the Matamuska Valley, as they grapple with the unexpected discovery about Florence's possibly alive grandfather, Tom Kennedy. The sisters face an uncertain future, filled with hopes of adventure amid the realities of life in an unfamiliar wild, setting the stage for a rich exploration of themes like curiosity, family ties, and the unpredictability of life.
