Eleven-year-old Josh Parker wants nothing to do with dogs. Years earlier, a vicious dog attack left him with a crippling fear he believes he can't overcome. Yet here he is, stuck in the middle of rural Alaska with his older cousin Brent, a competitive sled dog racer with his own kennel. When his travel-blogging parents drop off Josh and his twin sister, Lizzie, for several weeks, Josh tries to hide his fear. After all, dog sledding is everything to Brent, who hopes to win the upcoming county finals race and its highly coveted prize.

Brent's friend, Hank, is also desperate for a win and apparently will stop at nothing to beat his competition. Suspicious of Hank's methods, Josh confronts his cousin, but Brent brushes off his concern. Then, with a blizzard advancing, a training run turns disastrous, and Hank's life is in Josh's hands. Will Josh be able to conquer his fear and get them home alive?

Readers aged 8-12 years old will love this story of courage and determination in our 49th state. Rich with details about Alaska and the sport of sled dog sprint racing, this fast-paced adventure will have readers on the edge of their seat. Superb storytelling with strong characters and a plot filled with twists and turns will entice readers of every age, including parents, educators, and reluctant readers.
