This book had me spellbound! I had wanted to learn more about sled dog mushing and the area of the Norton Sound Region after having visited several of the villages talked about in this book. It was fascinating to learn how people used to travel by dog sled from village to village during the extremely harsh weather conditions of the Arctic during the winter months. Being a dog lover, I also enjoyed hearing about the bond between mushers and many of their individual sled dogs. The tales of the individual portions of the relay to transfer the serum at times, left me on the edge of my seat with the excitement and danger the mushers and their teams faced!
