Then they headed for Alaska. Their Crossley miniature car was so small, the wheel span was too narrow for the wooden tracks they occasionally encountered on the unpaved Alaska Highway. They had to hitch over the bridges with the car on the back of trucks. Phyllis subsequently used her power of persuasion in the Yukon to get them overnight lodging in a jail when they had nowhere else to stay. They were featured in an article in Ladies' Home Journal, How America Lives: Newcomers to Alaska.

Over the years Krasilovsky published 20 books for children, She described her The Popular Girls Club as "one of the first books about mean kids". Jessica, Margaret and Peter.

Death Krasilovsky died at the age of 87 on February 27, 2014, in Redding, Connecticut, of complications from a stroke.
