Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod

Fueled by a passion for running dogs, Gary Paulsen entered the Iditarod-the eleven hundred and eighty 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, dogfights, moose attacks, sleeplessness, hallucinations-and the relentless push to go on. Winterdance is the enthralling account of a 'stunning wilderness journey of discovery and transformation' (Chicago Tribune), lived and told by 'the best author of man-against-nature adventures writing today' (Publishers Weekly).
