Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod by Paulsen, Gary

An incredible sled-dog race through the Alaskan wilderness and a stunning journey of discovery and survival from the author of the beloved Hatchet. Fueled by a passion for running dogs, Gary Paulsen entered the Iditarod--the eleven-hundred-and-eight-mile sled-dog race through the Alaskan wilderness--in dangerous ignorance and with a fierce determination. For seventeen days, he and his team of dogs endured blinding wind, snowstorms, frostbite, dog fights, moose attacks, sleeplessness, hallucinations--and the relentless push to go on. Winterdance is the enthralling account told by the "best author of man-against-nature adventures writing today" (Publishers Weekly).Author: Gary PaulsenPublisher: Mariner BooksPublished: 02/17/1995Pages: 272Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.72lbsSize: 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.10dISBN: 9780156001458Age Range: 12-17Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 6Point Value: 10Interest Level: Upper GradeQuiz #/Name: 61234 / Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the IditarodRe
