Fourteen-year-old McKenna accepts the challenge of a
three-day dog sled race across the Canadian wilderness. Hiding her
deteriorating vision from all, she takes herself and her beloved dogs into danger
on the trail. Written as an adventure for middle schoolers the story is too
interesting not to be read by anyone interested in sled dogs.
Terry Lynn Johnson is an experienced musher who bases her
books on her own experiences. She owned a dog-sledding business with eighteen
huskies and taught dog-sledding near Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada and served as
a conservation officer and backcountry canoe ranger. Loving outdoor adventures,
she brings that knowledge to her writing for young readers. Johnson, who now
has one Border Collie, is also the author of “Ice Dogs” and “Sled Dog School.”
