Synopses & Reviews
Victoria Secord, a
fourteen-year-old Alaskan dogsled racer, loses her way on a routine
outing with her dogs. With food gone and temperatures dropping, her
survival and that of her dogs and the mysterious boy she meets in the
woods is entirely up to her.
The author Terry Lynn Johnson is a musher herself, and her crackling
writing puts readers at the reins as Victoria and Chris experience
setbacks, mistakes, and small triumphs in their wilderness adventure.
