- Read this book around 2017 or 2018. It was in a box of books I think my mom brought down from the attic to get rid of.
- There was some pictures in the book, but it was mostly words. The art style reminded me of Shannon Hale's style, but I've looked and can't find anything like this book in her works.
- The book was historical fiction, kind of had Little House on the Prairie energy but I can't say exactly when this was set except that it was either pre-television or pre-television in extremely rural areas.
- The main character was this little girl who lived in a log cabin in Alaska with these two men who I think were lumberjacks or maybe just dressed like lumberjacks.
- I think it was important that the little girl was blonde, either because she was adopted and clearly didn't look like her fathers or because she was the only blonde person in her town or both.
- I remember a scene of her going to school in a one-room schoolhouse with kids her age and elderly Inuit people who were learning to read and write in English, and another scene where the little girl is scratching her bug bites until they bleed.
- The book's cover was light blue, and it was cloth bound
- Please help, I am losing my mind over this

When you say Shannon Hale's art style, do you mean LeUyen Pham's art style? Hale doesn't do any artwork as far as I know, but she's worked with Pham, who's an illustrator, for multiple books.
This also sounds a lot like Bo at Ballard Creek, illustrated by Pham!
